+# Security Policy
+
+If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, we encourage you to let us know right away.
+
+We will investigate all legitimate reports and do our best to quickly fix the problem.
+
+Our preference is that you make use of GitHub's private vulnerability reporting feature to disclose potential security vulnerabilities in our Open Source Software. 
+
+To do this, please visit the security tab of the repository and click the "Report a vulnerability" button.
