Disabling secure boot and third party drivers

Whilst installing linux mint 19.1 cinnamon i checked the "I want third party drivers box".
However, upon checking that box i was prompted to create a password in order to disable secure boot.



Thus, i disabled secure boot after rebooting my machine, as prompted.



Now however, after rebooting (and with every boot up) my monitor displays a huge warning reading "booting into insecure mode", before displaying the mint login screen.



Is this now something that i should not be bothered with, or did i mess up the installation process somewhere along the line? And is using this "insecure" mode somehow making me more susceptible to any "attacks" or the like - which the name seems to imply to a layman like me?
