Submit a change request and obtain approval from the change advisory board (CAB) before proceeding.

Schedule the patch for the next maintenance window to avoid disruption during business hours.

Submit an emergency change request, obtain expedited approval, and implement the patch with a rollback plan.

Apply the patch immediately to mitigate the risk, and document the change after completion.

Notify the help desk after the change is completed

Submit a change request for review and approval

Immediately install the new switch to minimize downtime

What is the main objective of a patch management strategy?

To keep network systems up-to-date and secure by applying software updates
