Stack Exchange: In 2008, Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky created a site called Stack Overflow and brought together millions of computer programmers from around the world to help each other with detailed technical questions. Stack Overflow quickly became a cherished resource for programmers and IT professionals from many different backgrounds, including security. When the Stack Exchange company was formed to apply the Stack Overflow formula to other fields, IT Security was one of the first sites proposed. A beta version opened in November of 2010, and the site launched in July of 2011 - today, it's a growing community of 7 thousand registered users with over 3 thousand expertly-answered security questions under their belts. The site continues to expand into wider security areas such as elements of physical security, audit and emerging technologies, and is attracting a strong core of security professionals. Key themes and popular questions are also discussed on the Security Stack Exchange blog[1] and in the site's chat room "The DMZ"[2]. 1: http://blog.security.stackexchange.com 2: http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/151/the-dmz
