I've learned quite a bit reading various security sites like cert.org, sans.org and securityfocus.com. The Ciscopress book Managing Cisco Network Security isn't bad if you don't mind looking at it as the world according to Cisco. Learning what IDS machines (snort.org, the Dragon website at enterasys...)look for is a good tool as well. You can even download shareware IDS systems to see what they do. You will get the best and fastest training when you have to stop a DDoS attack at 2 am one night though :).

The books don't necesarily have to be Cisco based, but more on the basics of Intrusion Detection and IT Security concepts and tools used.
