In today's episode, we turn our focus to Thailand . The discussion unfolds against the backdrop of the 44th ASEAN Innovation Business Platform Thailand Conference and Exhibition, hosted at the Grand Hyatt Erawan on the 26th of September.
Thailand, with its population exceeding 71 million, is witnessing a significant digital transformation, evidenced by its over 61 million internet users. Alongside this digital expansion, there has been a notable increase in cyber threats, particularly targeting businesses. The Stock Exchange of Thailand's research department estimated damages of over 31.5 billion baht from cybercrime over the last year.
To combat these challenges, the Thai government has implemented various laws and regulations to bolster cybersecurity. Key among these are the Computer Crime Act and the Personal Data Protection Act, which aim to safeguard digital data and penalize cybercrimes. As digitalisation continues to accelerate, these measures underscore the necessity for Thai enterprises to adapt. Businesses must not only comply with these regulations but also proactively invest in comprehensive cybersecurity strategies.
