The Verified Publisher Program provides several features and benefits to Docker Hub publishers. The program grants the following perks based on participation tier:

• Verified publisher badge
• Insights and analytics
• Vulnerability scanning
• Additional Docker Business seats
• Removal of rate limiting for developers
• Co-marketing opportunities

Verified publisher badge

The verified publisher badge signals high quality, and trust, to developers.

Images from publishers with this badge are verified as high quality, and that users can trust the content.

Insights and analytics

The insights and analytics{: target="blank" rel="noopener" class=""} service provides usage metrics for how the community uses your Docker images, and grants you insight into your user's behavior.

You can use the view to select the time span you want to view analytics data and export the data in either a summary or raw format.

The summary format shows image pulls per tag, and the raw format lists information about every image pull for the selected time span. Data points include tag, type of pull, user geolocation, client tool (user agent), and more.

Vulnerability scanning

Docker Scout{: target="blank" rel="noopener" class=""} provides automatic vulnerability scanning for DVP images published to Docker Hub. Scanning images ensures that the published content is secure, and proves to developers that they can trust the image. You can enable scanning on a per-repository basis, refer to vulnerability scanning{: target="blank" rel="noopener" class=""} for more information about how to use it.
