Cisco vs HPE/Aruba

Next-gen firewalls and hybrid-mesh network security. Counts are scoped to this segment and the selected published-date window. Cisco carries 5.9× the disclosed CVE volume of HPE/Aruba.

Sourced from the NIST NVD; lower counts indicate a smaller disclosed vulnerability surface — not necessarily lower risk.
