Abstract :
Few organizations take full advantage of the value their users can provide toward the security of their Web site. Users who care about the data they´ve entrusted to a Web site are naturally inclined to assist if properly engaged. They can be extremely responsive in raising red flags if and when an incident occurs, probably faster in many cases than an intrusion detection system (IDS). Here, the author offers five user-customizable security features, most of which, if not all, have been seen on the Web, which helps make the Web site more inline with customers´ security expectations.
