If you are a Prisma Cloud customer, you can use the Upgrade Helper to copy data from your Prisma Cloud tenant to your new Cortex Cloud tenant. If you have not received your entitlement details to activate your Cortex Cloud tenant, contact your account team to learn more about tenant activation and the upgrade process.

Note

Your Prisma Cloud tenant remains available and fully operational during the agreed upgrade period.

The Upgrade Helper provides a gradual and flexible upgrade experience, while Prisma Cloud and Cortex Cloud run in parallel during the transition period. It enables you to copy configurations from your Prisma Cloud tenant into your Cortex Cloud tenant at your own pace.

  • Administrators can use the Upgrade Helper at any stage of the upgrade process, as many times as needed. If you copied a record previously, it gets updated and overwritten with the latest details from Prisma Cloud during each run.

    For example, when you copy custom permission groups the second time, all custom roles that you previously created in the Cortex Cloud tenant are overwritten with the latest configurations.

  • Choose exactly what to copy and what to skip. This allows you to choose a clean start or do a selective migration of content.

  • The Upgrade Helper does not modify any existing content in your Prisma Cloud tenant.

The following table lists the types of content that are copied from your Prisma Cloud tenant to your Cortex Cloud tenant during the upgrade process:
