+# Reporting security vulnerabilities
+
+Oracle values the independent security research community and believes that
+responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities helps us ensure the security
+and privacy of all our users.
+
+Please do NOT raise a GitHub Issue to report a security vulnerability. If you
+believe you have found a security vulnerability, please submit a report to
+[secalert_us@oracle.com][1] preferably with a proof of concept. Please review
+some additional information on [how to report security vulnerabilities to Oracle][2].
+We encourage people who contact Oracle Security to use email encryption using
+[our encryption key][3].
+
+We ask that you do not use other channels or contact the project maintainers
+directly.
+
+Non-vulnerability related security issues including ideas for new or improved
+security features are welcome on GitHub Issues.
+
+## Security updates, alerts and bulletins
+
+Security updates will be released on a regular cadence. Many of our projects
+will typically release security fixes in conjunction with the
+Oracle Critical Patch Update program. Additional
+information, including past advisories, is available on our [security alerts][4]
+page.
+
+## Security-related information
+
+We will provide security related information such as a threat model, considerations
+for secure use, or any known security issues in our documentation. Please note
+that labs and sample code are intended to demonstrate a concept and may not be
+sufficiently hardened for production use.
