Just kind of an FYI...

It is probably not a good idea to list the vendors you use to protect
your network with to a security mailing list... especially a pen-test
one.

:-D

Well I'll be dog gone! I just wasn't aware of such devices out there in the
market (and I thought I was up to date! evidently not).

We protect our network with IPS (TopLayer), IDS (Juniper and GFI LANGuard &
SNORT) and Firewall (Juniper Netscreen) and always thought that would be
enough, but SQL injection has always been a concern. Since we are not able
to actively defend it - its in our TOS/SLA that we do NOT defend against
SQL Injections.

Thanks to all who pitched in an answer/suggestion.

Hi Faisal,

There are dedicated devices that are designed to prevent attacks of
this sort - web application firewalls. Here are a list of
manufacturers that you should look into:

(in alphabetical order)

Imperva          - www.imperva.com/
Kavado           - www.imperva.com/
Netcontinuum     - www.netcontinuum.com/
Teros            - www.teros.com/
Watchfire (Sanctum) - www.watchfire.com

AND, if you'll forgive the plug,

Sentryware:       www.sentryware.com

Good luck in your search,

Rich
