You are a security administrator at your organization. Which of the following should you do when a new patch is released for a server?
  1. Ignore the patch.
  2. Immediately install the patch on the production server.
  3. Review discussion forums for the usefulness of this patch.
  4. Test the patch on a test server and then install the patch on the production server.
Explanation
Answer: D - Prior to implementing the patch on the production server, the patch should first be installed on a non-production test server and tested.

Key Takeaway: Not all patches and updates can be beneficial. There are some that hinder or corrupt the normal functioning of the computer or server by conflicting with other applications on the machine. It is always recommended to test the update in a simulated environment as similar to the production server as possible and note its benefits and ill effects.
