I know that some companies put these sorts of updates on hold during the holiday season but I was wondering if anyone has heard of any unannounced security flaws that only larger companies such as Cogent would be privy to?

Nothing I’m aware of.  I know we are rolling new XR releases as well this season to address operational issues we’ve been having.  I expect they are doing similar for their platforms, etc.
