<ul>
 <li>Sberbank, Yandex, VK Group (platinum);</li>

 <li>Lanit, Aitarget, Naumen (silver).</li>
</ul>

 There were no IT and telecom employers in the bronze category.

 
 This is Forbes' third rating of the best employers in Russia, which includes 104 companies. This year, not only the benefits package, average wages and working conditions were taken into account, but also the ecological footprint of companies and their impact on society.

Sberbank, Yandex and VK Group are the best Employers of 2021 in IT, According to Forbes

Telecom operator MegaFon and Moscow-based private equity company Kismet Capital Group have agreed to create an independent tower infrastructure operator on the basis of Tower One (subsidiary of MegaFon) and Vertical (operator controlled by Kismet Capital Group).

 
 The new structure will unite 17 thousand towers and support structures of the Tower One, as well as more than 5 thousand Vertical’s facilities, and may become the largest independent player with more than 22 thousand towers.

 
 MegaFon's share in the merged company will be 25%. Kismet Capital Group will receive more than 65% and will have five out of seven representatives on the board of directors (the remaining two will be for MegaFon). It is assumed that neither MegaFon nor any other telecom operator will be able to gain control over the new structure. Еhe deal will be closed presumably by the end of 2021.

 
 As Forbes previously <a href="https://www.forbes.ru/tehnologii/436635-vertikal-ivana-tavrina-i-megafon-vyvedut-na-amerikanskuyu-birzhu-obedinennuyu" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">reported</a>, that Tower One and Vertical were planning to create an independent company that will go public on the American stock exchange.

The ministry plans to reduce the number of fraudulent calls by 50% by the end of next year, as well as block up to 80% of fraudulent resources within 24 hours.

 
 As the ministry clarified, in order to achieve these goals, they intend to automate the collection, analysis and transmission of information to authorized bodies to make a decision on the subsequent blocking of phishing sites. “We must learn to very quickly block phishing sites: a day is the maximum period, ideally the work should take six to eight hours,” the Minister of Digital Development Maksut Shadayev said.

 
 Data collection will be carried out by the ministry. Russian companies in the field of cybersecurity will also be involved in the action. In addition, the operators' antispam systems will exchange data on the numbers used by fraudsters. In this case, the time for blocking a single phone number will be significantly reduced.

 
 Tele2 said that at the beginning of 2020, they have already implemented an "anti-fraud platform to combat spoofed numbers that are used by fraudsters to deceive bank customers." A similar MTS system daily blocks more than 60 thousand attempts to make calls from a dummy number. MegaFon blocks potentially fraudulent calls with the substitution of bank numbers according to the Central Bank lists.

According to Vedomosti, the document will be signed by nine companies, including Yandex, Mail.ru Group, Kaspersky Lab, MTS, Beeline, MegaFon, Rostelecom, Gazprom-Media and National Media Group. At the same time, it is possible that foreign services may also join the list.

 
 The document consists of 10 points. In particular, companies undertake to independently find and remove content that is undesirable for children and improve tools for their protection, increase children's digital literacy, develop international cooperation in this area, etc.

 
 The interlocutor of the publication said that these companies will actually comply with the legal requirements for self-regulation of social networks. The purpose of the document is to achieve the removal of illegal content by the companies themselves, and not through its entry by Roskomnadzor, Russian regulatory body, into the relevant register.
