You would benefit from all (training, events, and forum participation). If you want a get a basic understanding of security overall, attend training classes as the annual events usually have sessions geared around specific topics.
If you could only attend one of the annual events, I would choose to attend tech ed over asug/saphire. You may also want to look at attending the Administration and Infrastructure 2008 conference (see link below) as there seems to be some sessions that would be geared towards security.
Hope this helps.

There are also some security sessions in the GRC2008 event.

If last year is anything to go by then the security sessions are focussed at the more experienced practitioner and tend to deal with spot issues rather than an overview.

The security sessions that I attended last year were reasonably detailed, each session lasts 60 minutes + 15 minutes Q&A. I picked up some useful things from the sessions that I attended. It was good being able to step into the HR & FI sessions that were there too.
I'll be back again this year and have prepped material for a session which is pretty detailed. It's worth knowing that if a topic is covering a broad area then the 60 minutes isn't a huge amount of time to dig in deep. If it's a small area then 60 mins is plenty of time to articulate one or two concepts.
