Explanation

Prisma Access is Palo Alto Networks' cloud-delivered security service. Unlike traditional on-premises firewalls that require maintenance windows, Prisma Access is built with a zero-downtime upgrade architecture. This means Palo Alto Networks can push infrastructure and software updates to the platform without dropping active user sessions or disrupting tunnels. The cloud-native design uses rolling upgrades, redundant nodes, and session persistence techniques to keep the service running continuously during upgrades. The other options are distractors: backup-based deployment and multi-phase firmware staging are not Prisma Access-specific concepts, and disabling all policies before an upgrade would actively interrupt service rather than preserve it.
