Critical Environment (CE)

The critical environment (CE) line, released every 12-18 months is supported for 24 months. This CE line is based on an existing agent line, already available, and becomes a critical environment line only after its stability has been verified. The line receives content updates and minor version releases relating to high and critical-severity bug fixes alongside security fixes within the existing capabilities for its entire support cycle. The CE line is recommended for customers running in regulated environments, looking for less frequent upgrades and stability-focused versions.

More information is available on the Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR agent website.
