CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 33

An organization has developed an application that needs a patch to fix a critical vulnerability. In which of the following environments should the patch be deployed
LAST?

Answer options

• A. Test
• B. Staging
• C. Development
• D. Production

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The patch should be deployed last in the Production environment because it is the live environment where users are affected. Testing the patch in Development, Staging, and Test environments first ensures that it functions correctly and does not introduce new issues before impacting end users.
