I was going to recommend this software for my companies library of over 45000 ebooks, but no security... Will these issues be addressed in the near future?

Considering that calibre is designed and intended as a single user system for managing ebooks, why would it need to have the level of security you are whinging about? When you open a program on your computer, say your favoured web browser, does it require you to authenticate before you can use it?
The web interface can be configured with users but not something that most people do. You can also configure the web interface to use https but considering that for most people, it is intended for use on their home network and not exposed to the outside, not a real pressing need.
If you want a corporate library system, there are several of them out there. All the ones I am familiar with do have a cost involved. Have you looked at any of them? A quick search on 'integrated library system' or 'library management system' should give you a fair number of options to check out.
And BTW, it's Kindle not kindel.
