Chapter 1. Introduction to Vulnerability Management Certification Program

Use this guide to certify and distribute your vulnerability scanning solution for compatibility with Red Hat published container images and packages, as part of the Red Hat Vulnerability Management Certification program.

Red Hat Vulnerability Management Certification is a collaboration with security partners to deliver more accurate and reliable vulnerability scanning results for Red Hat products and packages, particularly container images, including those built from Red Hat Universal Base Images (UBI).

By leveraging Red Hat’s comprehensive and evolving security data, certified partner solutions can reduce false positives and other discrepancies, providing customers with clearer insights into vulnerability risks and a more reliable security assessment process.

Certified products are listed in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog and promoted as Red Hat Certified Technologies.
