If by security you mean the iOS (iPhone Operating System software), then you do need WiFi or connect the phone to a computer which has internet > launch iTunes > and do the iOS update via iTunes from the computer


Note: when you update the iOS, you are installing the latest operating system designed by Apple for your iPhone and in general overall security of the iPhone is improved.
