Commsrisk Top Ten for 2018

Once again my selection of the most important events of 2018 differed from the most-read articles of the year. But if risk management was as simple as drawing attention to the most obvious dangers then anybody could be a good risk manager! Many of the leading articles scored well because new visitors kept googling and finding them each month. They addressed subjects which interest a wide audience but which have not been covered in any depth elsewhere.

The following list is in ranking order of popularity, as measured across the whole of 2018.

  1. beIN or Out? Why Saudi Sports Fans Pirate Qatari TV

  7. Bypass: Time for a Rethink?
  8. Big Data Machine Learning: Telco Fraud Detection Points the Way
