Unified Ecosystem: How the Anti-Fraud Platform for Combating Fraud Will Operate in 2026

Cutting-Edge Technologies

This innovation is expected to be a key element in ensuring the digital security of citizens, with significant developments expected in the coming year: the platform is scheduled to launch on March 1, 2026.

The platform will collect and analyze information on fraudulent schemes, form a unified database of offenders, including the phone numbers involved in fraud, and actively identify phishing resources. Along with these functions, the system will automatically send alerts about suspicious activity and promptly block fraudulent websites. This will help effectively stop fraud at early stages, protecting users from online and telephone fraud.

Along with the Ministry of Digital Development, the system will involve the Central Bank of Russia, financial institutions, government agencies, the Prosecutor General's Office, the Investigative Committee, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, telecom operators, social media owners, ad platforms, hosting providers, and others.

The anti-fraud platform will also interact with the Unified System of Identification and Authentication (ESIA), the automated incident processing system (ASOI FinCERT), Roskomnadzor systems, and the registry of prohibited websites and domains.

Unified Standards

The “Gostekh” platform provides unified standards, high security, and compatibility between different systems, supporting modern technologies and ensuring compliance with government requirements for data protection and reliability. The system will ensure cooperation between government agencies, banks, telecom operators, messaging services, and hosting providers, creating a coordinated infrastructure to combat online threats.

The damage caused to citizens – and consequently to the state – by telephone and internet fraudsters has reached unacceptable proportions. We need to act quickly… I know that they [State Duma deputies] are also concerned about the situation in this area and, of course, support [measures to counteract it]. We just need to focus, dot the i's, and finish this work. As decisions are implemented, we will analyze law enforcement practice and make adjustments

All this will stimulate the development of advanced data analysis technologies and AI solutions, and open moderate potential for exporting these technologies. Additionally, the project will encourage the growth of domestic IT companies specializing in anti-fraud, monitoring, and AI solutions.

A Leading Consortium

In early 2026, a consortium will be established to combat internet fraud based on the “Cyberdom” project. The project is named the “Center for Social Engineering Analytics and AI in Cyber Fraud.” The consortium will include the Center for Legal Assistance to Citizens in the Digital Environment, T-Bank, companies such as Infosecurity, F6, Rutube, Beeline, and Logika Moloka.

The primary task of the center will be data analytics and sharing to prevent phishing, cyberattacks, deepfakes, and other social engineering schemes. The consortium is expected to launch a specialized platform in the first quarter of 2026, where detailed reports for the business community will be published, alongside general information to warn citizens.

The establishment of a national anti-fraud consortium is a natural progression. It builds on prior efforts to reinforce institutional frameworks and technological foundations, paving the way for a specialized platform and the consortium itself. This approach enables a move beyond reactive blocking toward advanced analysis and forecasting of fraud scheme mechanics.

Collaborative Action

The creation of a national anti-fraud consortium and the corresponding platform represents a significant step toward forming a unified ecosystem to counter fraud in Russia’s digital environment. This large-scale technological initiative, which brings together the efforts of the government, business, and the IT sector, goes beyond administrative measures.

The full launch of the platform and the start of consortium operations are expected in 2026, which will enable coordinated actions and the regular publication of analytical reports on fraudulent schemes.

In the next two to three years, the project is expected to significantly expand, connecting new regions and sectors, including telecommunications, finance, and retail. Key directions will include enhanced AI-based analytics and the standardization of big data exchange among participants. The successful implementation of the domestic platform and methodology will allow Russia to expand into external markets (CIS countries and friendly states), positioning itself as a provider of advanced anti-fraud and cybersecurity solutions.
