A lot of effort can go into crafting an article for Commsrisk, only to discover the title is the most important factor in determining how many will read it. The most popular article of last month demonstrated why this is the case; 73 million people have been affected by the recent data breach at AT&T, and many are seeking advice about their credit ratings. The topic of consumer protection tends to become especially important to consumers immediately after they have been wronged. However, it is the job of risk professionals to stop things going wrong before they go wrong. That is why regular readers of Commsrisk will appreciate that the subject of the second-most popular story has even greater global importance. That article addresses ways to protect customers before they have been harmed, and is not specific to an English-speaking audience.
