For quite a while I’m not getting push notifications from Apple anymore for security updates. Across multiple devices. MacBook, iPad and iPhone.
I have to manually check all devices for updates to keep my software up to date.
Is there a hidden feature to suspend/enable?
Cheers!

You can check your setting — if you want automatic update...
make some changes:

All those settings were switched on. The problem lies somewhere else.
I use Little Snitch as a personal firewall with a quite complex rule table. It could be an explanation. However, haven’t found the problem there. And it’s also across other devices.
I was wondering if there are others with similar issues. Is there possible a push notification issue from the server side?

I would disable/ uninstall your "Little Snitch" and compare your results.

Good point! That would for sure exclude the firewall as our troublemaker.
However, not a very secure approach, since I don’t know the schedule for the push notifications. It would require countless days monitoring without a firewall security in place. That’s definitely a no no.
Unless there is a way to trigger a security push notification??? I would certainly test that for a short manageable period of time.
Still doesn’t explain missing notifications on iPhone and iPad. No additional firewall running on those IOS devices.
Security update notifications missing
