macOS Deployment

These are the macOS deployment methods

Online Installers

The online installer is a stub that fetches the latest version of the Prisma Access Browser and installs it.
The online installer automatically retrieves the latest version of the browser from either the Stable or Long-Term Support (LTS) channel. The browser package includes an integrated updater that applies updates according to the "Deployments" settings specified in the policy manager under "Browser Customizations." Administrators can configure upgrade requirements and scheduling per individual users or user groups by adjusting the relevant policies.

macOS LTS
  • The LTS installer uses the features, but allows you to delay the installation.

Offline Installer

Offline installers consist of a standalone installation file that enables browser installation on systems without an internet connection. The development team updates and releases the installers with each new browser version. The version feeds contain only recent and supported browser versions. We strongly recommend that you install the latest version to ensure access to all security updates.
macOS
  • You can install the browser while offline using a universal DMG installation.

Browser Updates

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.
The Deployment policy in the management console allows customization of the deployment delay for new features and configuration of the update enforcement schedule.
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.
macOS
For macOS devices, browser updates are currently managed within the browser context. The update process initiates only while the browser is running and operates using the active user's permissions.
This process will be updated with the upcoming introduction of the Prisma Access Browser Updater for macOS.
