Brocade vs Cisco

Enterprise and data-center routers plus Ethernet switching. Counts are scoped to this segment and the selected published-date window. Cisco carries 714.0× the disclosed CVE volume of Brocade.

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