Fortinet vs Palo Alto Networks

Standalone and embedded IDS/IPS/NDR. Counts are scoped to this segment and the selected published-date window. Fortinet carries 2.5× the disclosed CVE volume of Palo Alto Networks.

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