Hi List,
Hi :)
any one on the list aware of any IDS/IPS capable of blocking CSRF
attacks?
I dont think you need to block them with ids or ips. 
If not, what will be the best policy to block CSRF.

It is actually a problem of your web framework or application you use. CSRF 
attacks use easy to guess URL'S. Therefore you shouldnt use GET for important 
tasks in your site. And also for POST requests you may use randomly generated 
hidden fields in your forms when you submit something. 

You may checkout that : http://www.owasp.org/index.php/CSRF
