Enable System Extensions in the GlobalProtect App for macOS Endpoints
Starting with macOS 10.15.4, Apple has limited
the support of kernel extensions. The GlobalProtect app will use
system extensions instead of kernel extensions. Users must approve
system extensions before they can use them.
In addition
to enabling system extensions, you can enable network extensions
in the GlobalProtect app to suppress the

You can use the mobile device management system (MDM) such as Jamf
Pro to automatically load the network extensions without receiving
the pop-up prompts. Refer to the knowledge base article at https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA14u000000HAW8 for
