vcenter and vsphere missing updates

I dont have access to a vCenter Server anymore, but I am trying to prescribe to an admin how to get a report/list of missing security patches reports in vCenter for each of the 10 hosts in the datacentre. Is it possible to create a single report from update manager to show all missing patches per host? How would we get this information? is it possible to get it in a single report? Also are there security patches for vcenter server itself? And how can you check those patches are installed? Screenshots would be excellent.

Yes you can install security updates to Vcenter 1 , and you can check change logs as well , update 1 is already there as well , to check some changes to security you can check security announcement
