Afterwards, to protect the live and test environments, you should make its configurations read-only and configure the SiteSync to synchronize content only. You must also use the Auto-storage mode of configurations on all of your environments, which takes care that environment configurations are delivered easily between environments, while runtime setting are not overwritten.
