Implementing an automated patch schedule with a tested rollback plan keeps the operating system (OS) current and allows quick corrections if patches fail. A well-structured fallback prevents extended disruption and limits potential exposure. Obtaining driver updates from untrusted sources adds unnecessary risks, since malicious code can be introduced. Simply removing third-party software overlooks essential updates for local services. Delaying patches for a lengthy time increases the window of vulnerability and can compromise the OS.
