Hi list friends !!!

I did a pentest for a client's web site and found many holes most of 
them because of Sql injection which can be fixed with a good practice 
of input validation. I also recommended installing an IPS. the client 
has checkpoint smart defance module installed on his FW but I guess 
that this module is not enough because 1. one cant write signatures 2. 
the clients uses SSL on his web site so the IPS cant see the attack. AM 
I WRONG?? I think that the client needs to buy a real IPS which can 
also open the encrypted traffic.

which IPS you recommend for doing the task?


thanks a lot,

Marco
