SCB X Public Company Limited ( SCBX ), the financial technology group of Siam Commercial Bank, has partnered with Thailand’s National Cyber Security Agency ( NCSA ) to enhance the country’s cybersecurity landscape.

The two organizations have outlined four key areas of collaboration to elevate Thailand’s cybersecurity standards and readiness in the digital age. These are:

• Cybersecurity framework and standards development. They will promote the adoption of cybersecurity standards across public and private sectors, focusing on critical areas such as cloud security, web application security, and quantum-safe readiness to prepare for future technologies.
• Cyber workforce development. They will support skill-building initiatives through training programmes and hands-on projects, including joint cybersecurity development programmes with Mandiant, a cybersecurity firm under Google Cloud;
• AI security research and innovation. They will collaborate on research and design of secure AI systems and agents that are safe, auditable, and aligned with ethical principles and organizational regulations; and
• Cyber threat intelligence exchange. They will establish mechanisms for continuous information exchange and threat intelligence sharing between the public and private sectors to enhance national cyber resilience and strengthen Thailand’s collective cybersecurity posture.

Cybersecurity forum

SCBX and NCSA recently organized a cybersecurity conference in Bangkok, which served as a platform for knowledge exchange and strategic dialogue on tackling digital threats, featuring keynote addresses from senior executives of both organizations.

At the event, Cyber Collaboration Forum: Building Resilience Together, discussions were held on the importance of building a robust cybersecurity ecosystem encompassing legal frameworks, technological standards, workforce development, and public awareness.

Keynoting the forum, Dennis Trawnitschek, chief technology officer of SCBX, said: “As AI and emerging technologies redefine data usage and operational models, cybersecurity must evolve beyond traditional IT boundaries to become a core pillar of sustainable enterprise governance. While advanced tools and systems are essential, true resilience stems from shared learning, open dialogue, and a balanced approach to innovation and risk management.”    

Also speaking at the forum, Air Vice Marshal Amorn Chomchoey, Secretary-General of the NCSA, highlighted the agency’s role in advancing national cybersecurity. The NCSA has laid the legal and policy foundations to support digital transformation through three key legislations: the Computer Crime Act, the Cybersecurity Act, and the Personal Data Protection Act.

“Our mission is to ensure a safe, secure, and trusted cyberspace for all. We are also focused on building a sustainable cybersecurity ecosystem by developing professional standards in collaboration with the Department of Skill Development, encouraging businesses to appoint cybersecurity officers, and integrating cybersecurity education into vocational curricula,” he shares.
