Computerworld - Apple Fixes OS X Security Glitch
Apple Computer Inc. has released a new security update that addresses a potential problem that arises when the Apple Filing Protocol, or AFP, is used to reshare a Network File System mount. The update also addresses a potential situation that causes LDAP bind authentication requests to be improperly sent when using Kerberos authentication. The 1.4MB file is available for download through OS X's Software Update System Preferences pane.
Unisys Suite Spots Financial Fraud
A new family of products and services from Unisys Corp. lets financial institutions detect early on more complex kinds of fraud, as well as identity theft and money-laundering schemes. The Unisys Active Risk Monitoring System suite improves the ability of banks and other organizations to spot patterns of seemingly unrelated events that add up to criminal activity, according to the company.

Computer Security: Art and Science, by Matt Bishop; Addison Wesley Professional, 2002.
Bishop is a well-known security expert. His Computer Security is a good textbook for university courses but has more limited value for business security professionals. The prose has that dry, textbook feel, with ideas presented as theorems, and much mathematical notation.
On the other hand, if you want a grounding in the underpinning theory of IT security, Computer Security can provide that.
