+We are thrilled to announce the official publication of a
+[Security Model](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/format/Security.html) for Apache Arrow.
+
+The Arrow security model covers a core subset of the Arrow specifications:
+the [Arrow Columnar Format](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/format/Columnar.html),
+the [Arrow C Data Interface](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/format/CDataInterface.html) and the
+[Arrow IPC Format](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/format/Columnar.html#serialization-and-interprocess-communication-ipc).
+It sets expectations and gives guidelines for handling data coming from
+untrusted sources.
+
+The specifications covered by the Arrow security model are building blocks for
+all the other Arrow specifications, such as Flight and ADBC.
+
+The ideas underlying the Arrow security model were informally shared between
+Arrow maintainers and have informed decisions for years, but they were left
+undocumented until now.
+
+Implementation-specific security considerations, such as proper API usage and
+runtime safety guarantees, will later be covered in the documentation of the
+respective implementations.

 # Reporting Security Issues
 
-Apache Arrow uses the standard process outlined by the [Apache Security Team](https://www.apache.org/security/) for reporting vulnerabilities. Note that vulnerabilities should not be publicly disclosed until the project has responded.
-
-To report a possible security vulnerability, please email [private@arrow.apache.org](mailto:private@arrow.apache.org).
+We take security seriously and would like our project to be as robust and
+dependable as possible. If you believe to have found a security bug, please do
+not file a public issue.
+
+First, please carefully read the Apache Arrow
+[Security Model](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/format/Security.html)
+and understand its implications for untrusted data, as some apparent security
+issues can actually be usage issues.
+
+Second, please follow the standard [vulnerability reporting process](https://apache.org/security/#reporting-a-vulnerability)
+outlined by the Apache Software Foundation. We will assess your report, follow
+up with our evaluation of the issue, and fix it as soon as possible if we deem
+it to be an actual security vulnerability.
