I don't think you need to emphasise the "perfect security" etc. so much here. Maybe just:
After this, the UEFI SBAT revocation variable (named SbatLevel) would be updated to raise the minimum global generation number for GRUB to 4.
?

How about "[...] to raise the mandatory minimal global generation number [...]", putting an emphasis on the "must" in "from this point in time it must be 4 or higher"?
