Apart from decent books on your favourite security software:

	"Intrusion Detection" by Stephen Northcutt and Judy Novak

	"Secrets and Lies" by Bruce Schneier

	"Crash! How to avoid a computer disaster" by Tony Collins

This last is a personal favourite of mine, although a little elderly now 
(1997), not specifically about security and light on technical details, 
a lot of the layer 8 issues discussed are highly relevant (IMO). Amazon 
write up here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0684816873/qid=1110896634/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_11_3/026-0762881-0486018

There are a lot of excellent academic papers (note: not vendor 'white 
papers') available on the net - worth slogging through even if the 
mathematics is over your head - most recently I've been reading the 
"Tracking physical devices by TCP and ICMP timestamp clock skews" paper 
published recently, but monitor the usual sources for other interesting 
bits of research : Full Disclosure, the Reg., Slashdot, nanog, Sec. 
Focus, etc etc.

enjoy
