Hello

You can update the hardware version using the steps and information from this article https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=10106...

You can check the features of the different hardware version here vSphere 6.0 Documentation Center

Most the improvements were in terms of memory and vcpu's

Thanks.

So, update the Virtual Machine needs only for new hardware features? No more secure?

Hi,

No, the hardware doesn't really assist with security. There are things you can do like disabling unused or unneeded devices (usb, etc) to improve the security.
