Patch management follows a three-stage lifecycle: (1) Acquiring - identifying needed patches and downloading them from vendors; (2) Testing - validating patches in a non-production environment to ensure they don't break existing functionality; (3) Installing - deploying tested patches to production systems. This sequence minimizes the risk of patch-induced downtime or security issues.
