The best approach is to first test the patch in a controlled, non-production environment to verify that it does not introduce new issues. After testing confirms compatibility and stability, the patch can be safely deployed to production. Skipping testing could cause outages, while delaying patching for long periods leaves the infrastructure exposed to known vulnerabilities.
