In reply to Apolonio Garcia.

Hi Apolonio, Thank you for reading the blog post and for the follow up. One of the main benefits is that you can obtain the vulnerability information directly from Cisco at the time of publication (i.e., before the scanners will even have the information about the vulnerability). Another benefit is that partners (including the ones that you mentioned) can obtain vulnerability disclosure information in a programmatic way immediately after publication. Both of this accelerate the time that it takes to receive, analyze and remediate security vulnerabilities in Cisco products. Hope this helps! Regards, Omar
