GlobalProtect has shipped native Apple Silicon support since version 5.2.6. A native build has now been confirmed running on Macs in our community, confirming the vendor's documentation. Most users receive GlobalProtect through their organisation's IT deployment system (MDM, managed installer, or internal distribution), so check with your IT department or security team first — they control which version your Mac receives and may have a specific deployment timeline. If you manage your own installation, download the latest version from Palo Alto Networks' official GlobalProtect documentation or download portal your organisation provides. The native build offers better performance and battery life compared to running under Rosetta 2, and will be essential once Apple removes Rosetta 2 from macOS in September 2028.
