Is it possible to use wildcards in searching for a specific sender on IMAP folder?

typ, data = M.SEARCH(None, 'from','"security@website*"')

In all search keys that use strings, a message matches the key if the string is a substring of the field. The matching is case-insensitive.

So you need to search without * and you should almost similar result. (you get security@website ...)
