A BB lockring doesn't help very much, since it unscrews in the same direction as the cog. I'd suggest using some Loctite blue threadlocker on the cog threads, which will keep it tight, but still not make it impossible to remove if you ever want to do so. Be sure you thoroughly degrease the cog and hub threads prior to using the Loctite.
