Explanation:
Software patches are good for network security, because they are developed the fix known
vulnerabilities. So even if everything’s operating normally, a patch is still very beneficial. When
you patch an operating system, there’s always a risk that something can go wrong which can
compromise your data and server operation. It would be wise to backup your data BEFORE,
installing a patch, and it would also be wise to test the patch on your least important servers first.
