A network administrator is tasked with updating the firmware on several critical network devices to mitigate newly discovered vulnerabilities. What is the BEST approach that ensures a stable and secure upgrade process?
Delay patching until enough other users report it safe to mitigate risks of new bugs.
Schedule patches to be implemented during the next available maintenance window after testing compatibility and stability.
Immediately install the patches to avoid any potential vulnerability exploits.
Ignore the patches unless directed by a direct supervisor.
