## Workflow 2: Emergency Patch Process
For critical zero-day or actively exploited vulnerabilities:
1. **Alert** (T+0h): Vendor advisory or threat intel notification
2. **Triage** (T+1h): Assess applicability and impact
3. **Fast-track Test** (T+4h): Rapid testing on critical systems
4. **Emergency CAB** (T+6h): Expedited approval
5. **Deploy** (T+8h): Direct to production (skip pilot rings)
6. **Verify** (T+12h): Post-patch scan verification
7. **Post-mortem** (T+48h): Review process effectiveness
## Workflow 3: Rollback Procedure
```
Patch Deployment Fails
├──> Application Not Starting
│ └──> Restore from snapshot/backup
├──> Performance Degradation
│ └──> Uninstall patch (wusa /uninstall /kb:NNNNN)
├──> Blue Screen / Kernel Panic
│ └──> Boot to safe mode, remove update
└──> Network Connectivity Lost
└──> Console access, rollback patch
