Release Cadence
Prisma Access Browser follows a structured release cycle to provide timely
updates, enhancements, and bug fixes:
The browser follows a weekly update schedule aligned with Chrome’s release cycle,
which includes weekly security patches and a major version update with new features
approximately every month.
Administrators can select between two release channels through the deployment
policy:
- Stable Channel (default): Receives weekly updates that include both new features and security patches.
- Long-Term Support (LTS) Channel: Receives weekly security patches and new Prisma Access Browser and Chromium features only during the monthly major version updates.
Updates downloaded during the update process are applied at the next browser start or
restart. Active browser sessions will display a notification prompting users to
restart their browsers to apply the update.
End-of-Life (EoL) Policy
- Each major version of our product is supported for ninety (90) days from its official release date. After this period, functionality is no longer guaranteed and technical support might be limited. Note: The release date remains unchanged for customers using customized gradual releases.
