Among the options provided, **patching operating systems** is the security measure that helps to protect software attack surfaces from cyberattacks the most.
Regularly patching operating systems addresses vulnerabilities and exploits that can be targeted by attackers, thereby reducing the risk of cyberattacks significantly. The other measures, while beneficial for security in different contexts, do not specifically target the protection of software attack surfaces as effectively as patching does.
