Except DLP customers, others can upgrade from v8.5.4 to v8.5.6 directly.

For the versions covered in this document, you have the option to upgrade your deployment incrementally, rather than upgrading all machines and components at the same time. This allows you to upgrade individual Policy Server instances and their dependent components as separate “logical deployments.” Policy Server instances that have not been upgraded and their dependent components continue to function normally at the original version. Please see the Incremental Upgrade guide for details.
SIEM Integration feature enhancements made in v8.5.4 may result in the loss of SIEM data during an incremental upgrade to v8.5.4 or v8.5.5 version. There is no loss of reporting data.
See the Incremental Upgrade Guide for more information.
When you are ready to begin, upgrade your deployment as mentioned in the steps in this guide.
