5.4.4.2 is indeed your next GA (Generally available) upgrade candidate.
5.4.0.8 to 5.4.4.2 is a direct upgrade path.
I would urge you to ensure there are no active alerts prior to the upgrade;
alerts show current
Also, to perform a proactive reboot even though yours has not been up for very long.
Once it is back up, ensure that the NVRAM batteries are charged;
system show nvram
If you are upgrading via the DDEM GUI, then I personally remove any old upgrade packages prior to the proactive reboot.
Then upload your new rpm package (from the same place you removed the old packages) and start the upgrade.
Regards,
Jonathan

Most likely you wish to go to 5.4.4.2 which is latest recommended .5.4.x release. Update path is very simple and very well explained in release notes - just follow it.
