The best approach to applying a newly released patch involves first testing the patch in a controlled environment to validate its effects and ensure it does not introduce new issues into the production system. This method offers a balance between maintaining security and operational integrity, which is paramount for critical infrastructure. Immediate application without testing could lead to unforeseen outages or issues, while delaying patch implementation unnecessarily can expose the network to potential vulnerabilities for a longer period.
