I have used brew to install software, is there a similar command line mechanism to download the OS's security updates?

softwareupdate can perform updates to macOS.
List updates with softwareupdate -l and install recommended updates with
sudo softwareupdate -ir
where -i installs specified updates and -r selects all recommended updates.

Warning: by default,softwareupdatedoes not automatically restart the system even when when an update requires it. You need to either add the-Rflag, or notice that the update has a "[restart]" suffix in the list and restart manually after installing.
