Summary
Now that you have completed this chapter, you are well versed on the process of patching.
You learned quite a bit in this chapter, starting with the basic seven steps of a patching process and moving into the organizational and team-building process. You learned about testing your patches for safety, developing work instructions, and downloading patches safely. Readers who have remote administrators were introduced to the concept of standardizing patch deployments to them. The mark of a good organization versus a great organization is having good processes, and good processes start with documentation. Learning about how to document your updates wrapped up the team discussion.
At some point, your site might be hacked, and, if so, you'll be able to better deal with it using the guidelines presented in this chapter for patching after a breach.
This chapter also provided some basic and general guidelines for patching each of the CMSs featured in this book.
Chapter 8 discusses the very important topic of log review. In that chapter, you'll learn about how to read logs for your site, server, and more. You will also learn how to use the logs to respond to various issues.
