  We are on version SP3/CU4 for SQL Server 2014.  Since CU4, there have been two security patches released, one on 2/11/20 and the other recently on 1/12/21. If I install the latest 1/12/21 security patch, will it "include" the patch for 2/11/20, or do I need to install both of them (in sequence)?

  Same answer as on 2012. The CU, cumulative update, is what it says, cumulative. Any other patches are individual.
