Welcome to the Risk & Assurance Group
Free events and online services for communications risk and assurance professionals
RAG has organised events for comms professionals working in business assurance for longer than anyone else. Now we aim to become the biggest global provider of free information and advice through our international conferences and online services.
RAG’s first virtual conference was watched by 2,000 people in 470 cities across 93 countries; see the map above. If you missed any of the presentations and panels from the 38 expert speakers you can replay all the individual sessions through the playback section of the conference page.
Neural Technologies is the first vendor to have upgraded their fraud management system so it can automatically exchange intelligence with the RAG Wangiri Blockchain. All customers of their Optimus FMS will now be able to use and share data about wangiri frauds happening worldwide in real time. Read the announcement here.
Version 4 of the RAG Leakage Catalogue is now available. The telecoms industry’s most comprehensive inventory of revenue and cost leakages now contains even more leakage points, root causes and mitigating controls. You can read or download the latest version by looking here.
RAG, in partnership with Orillion, is offering free access to a global distributed ledger of numbers used in wangiri attacks to any business willing to freely share their intelligence. This partnership now includes more than 50 telcos. Another eight vendors have integrated the consortium’s anti-wangiri data with their products and services. 900 million phone subscribers are now protected by telcos belonging to the anti-wangiri consortium.
Blockchain technology makes the ledger uniquely quick and easy to access; there is no need to implement any new software or hardware. The solution is cryptographically secure and only responsible members of the telecoms community may obtain access. See the portal and request to join the consortium here.
