+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+We strongly encourage you to report security vulnerabilities to
+our private security mailing list: security@cilium.io - first, before
+disclosing them in any public forums.
+
+This is a private mailing list where only members of the Cilium internal
+security team are subscribed to, and is treated as top priority.
