    php bin/magento maintenance:enable

  3. Execute Composer Command: Security patches use the Composer naming convention 2.3.3-px. Use Composer to specify a patch.
    composer require magento/product-community-edition=2.3.3-p1 --no-update
  4. Apply updates: This will update changes from the composer.json file.
    composer update
  5. Clean the Magento cache:
