Cisco vs Fortinet

Enterprise access points and WLAN controllers. Counts are scoped to this segment and the selected published-date window. Cisco carries 2.3× the disclosed CVE volume of Fortinet. Volume reflects disclosure practice and install base as much as code quality — read it with the severity mix. Sourced from the NIST NVD; lower counts indicate a smaller disclosed vulnerability surface — not necessarily lower risk.
