Ubuntu Security updates

Executing the below commands installs all updates ( includes security updates also)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

There is a package unattended-upgrades, which provides functionality to install security updates automatically.
You could use this, but not configure the automatic part and call it manually instead, so the following should do it:
sudo unattended-upgrade  
(assuming the package is installed by default, which probably is)
See also /usr/share/doc/unattended-upgrades/README.
