A critical issue is found in a web service, and a vendor fix has been released. The aim is to address this quickly while minimizing service interruptions. Which next step is the best approach?
Apply the vendor fix to the live web service and monitor logs for problems
Install the fix in a staging environment and run tests before updating the final setup
Roll out the patch after adding more hardware to handle change management
Incorporate the patch in the next scheduled system maintenance tasks
Testing the patch in a separate setup confirms the fix addresses the flaw and prevents new problems from arising in production. Updating without testing leaves services at risk. Delays can lead to prolonged exposure, and focusing on additional hardware before addressing the problem can allow vulnerabilities to persist.
