Web-to-Lead using salesforce sites

Hi,

I am thinking to use salesforce sites for the Web-to-Lead functionality. But I am little concerned about the security issues. Is it good practice to expose Lead object open to public? Would it cause any security issues?

 

Is salesforce sites a good option for web-to-lead functionality?

 

Thanks

Raj

consider turning the private sharing for the lead object and using CAPTCHA on your web2lead form.

I've been thinking about this as well.   I happened across this blog post regarding W2L spamming:

Seems like a pretty low-tech solid solution to a spam issue
