Apple released an update for Safari and my guess is there will be Security updates shortly.
How are admins updating these?
Thanks for any help.

Incremental non OS Updates
+12Best answer by _gsm
I have a workflow for updating macOS clients that uses full macOS installers yet misses the non-macOS specific updates, I believe.
I was actually interested in finding a way to address the non macOS updates without updating the macOS. Or is this not possible now?
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks for any help.
If the update does not require a reboot, I just use "softwareupdate -i --safari-only" in Files and Processes. It's crude but effective.

yeah that's what I decided to do. I think I should be able to do the same with security updates once I use softwareupdate -l to find the name.
Thanks!

Normally one was prompted for a password on Apple Silicon Macs.
Is this also working without this prompt?

This will work without a password on a Safari update which does not require a reboot. This will not work for macOS updates as a password will be required. For macOS updates, investigate
