F5 vs Palo Alto Networks
Zero-trust network access: VPN-replacement gateways and ZTNA agents (on-prem footprint). Counts are scoped to this segment and the selected published-date window.

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