Recently I see lot of news relating to SQL injection attacks, by romanion hackers. Did you notice they target only security software companies. Did you why are they targeting only security companies databases. Is there any specific reason for this.

How can I safeguard my website? Do you think, an web application security software would help prevent such kind of attacks.

I think SQL injection attacks are common attacks which happen on daily basis. I usually see loads of these attacks on my webservers.

There are some commercial hardware appliances which can help you identify and protect against these attacks, but depending on the assets you are trying to protect they are not always worth the investment.

From My point of view the web application security software will definitely help you to prevent such kind of attacks.

Just make sure that you use parametrized queries, and secure functions for creating them, to sanity the user input, and to use the principle of least privilege.

I agree with Erfiug. Putting in hardware and software to defend against an attack is like building a wall around a village at the bottom of a valley.

You should concentrate on preventive and detective measures like:

Secure coding techniques
Peer review coding
Pen testing
Log monitoring and alerting
