The security line is the line that points to security updates. Here's my

:
# See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sid/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
