Hi Karthikeyan,
Mac OS has a mechanism to do; "Automatically update safe download list" in
System Preferences / Security. That should take care of it I wish to
believe...
See here for more info

You can check the last modification date and time with this command.
defaults read
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.m
eta LastModification
And the version with this one.
defaults read
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.m
eta Version
Or this will tell you all.
cat
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.m
eta.plist
I think MCX, defaults or plistbuddy to this plist may force it to be
enabled for client Macs (TBC).
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.xprotectupdater.plist
Also another plist file to tell you what has been applied (you can see Mac
Defender etc...)
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.p
list
There is a discussion regards xprotect and security updates here in
MacEnterprise:
