As you probably have noticed, you will receive a notification that an update is available; likely Catalina.
Even though you can ignore it, you will still see a small number 1 over the System Preferences icon that will not go away by ignoring the update or change the settings in "Software Update", Advanced.
However, there is a Terminal Command that will shut it off until you're ready to install Catalina:
sudo softwareupdate --ignore "macOS Catalina"
To turn it back on again:
sudo softwareupdate --reset-ignored
