Threat Reporting

Threat reporting is the systematic process of documenting, communicating, and escalating security incidents or AI-related risks to appropriate stakeholders within an organization. For AI governance, threat reporting ensures that model vulnerabilities, data breaches, adversarial attacks, and compliance violations are captured and addressed promptly rather than hidden or ignored. Organizations that establish clear threat reporting channels and policies can respond faster to emerging risks, maintain regulatory compliance, and reduce the potential impact of security incidents on their AI systems and customer trust.

Hallucinated Threat Report Blocked a Startup's Domains Worldwide

The AI Failure Index documented a case in which a security threat report, allegedly generated with the assistance of a large language model, branded a startup as a Chinese spy front without factual basis. The report was published without expert review or source verification, causing the startup's domains to be blocked globally. The incident illustrates that AI-assisted security intelligence products carry direct third-party harm liability when human fact-checking controls are absent.
