There is (also) a mistake on this last line where sudo will not apply to
"apt-get upgrade". Try with:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

I say also as the error you get is clearly a problem trying to reach the
security server which will prevent the expression after && to execute,
and you will need to sort that out first. As previously said, it is
likely due to be a connection or dns error.
