The National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA) of Thailand aims to roll out 40 subordinate regulations of the Cybersecurity Act this year to strengthen the country’s systems. Over 100 organizations linked with critical information infrastructure (CII) stipulated by the act would also be directed to comply with the framework of security requirements to guard them against any cyber threats.
The act states that NCSA will be responsible for assisting in mitigating risks and preventing cyber threats to seven aspects of the CII, namely national security, banking and finance, public service, information technology and telecoms, energy and public utilities, transportation and logistics, and public health.
According to Section 44 of the Cybersecurity Act, NCSA will formulate a code of practice and standard cybersecurity frame as a guideline for state and private agencies linked to CII. They are also responsible for developing cybersecurity skills for state and private agency workers to meet international standards.
