    Just appending to the list above

    www.cert.org
    www.sans.org
    rr.sans.org

    You should also check out some of the more "shady" security sites such as

    hack.co.za which provides exploits, this will make you aware of what script kiddies are using against you

    There are many other sites which provide exploits for script kiddies to run with a simple command so keep an eye on those.

    Keeping up-to-date with your Operating System's security mailing list is the best way. I often find personal sites such as Packetstorm to fudge the advisories in some cases. It's best to get the news straight from your OS manufacture and its contributors. And for the record, hack.co.za is in no way "shady." The best way to test your security is to try and exploit it yourself, rather than waiting for some kiddie to make your machine their personal playground.
