Thailand's Foreign Affairs Ministry and Digital Economy and Society (DE) Ministry is collaborating with Australia to co-host the Asean-Australia Cybersecurity Workshop entitled, "Strengthening Legal Implementation in Tackling Cybersecurity Challenges in the Region" today. The workshop will help promote cooperation within and beyond Asean to address non-traditional security issues, in line with the Asean chairmanship 2018 theme of "Resilience and Innovation", said Pichet Durongkaveroj, DE minister. The workshop is a part of Thailand's continued efforts to strengthen cooperation between other Asean member states and dialogue partners in monitoring and tackling cyberthreats, and enhancing coordination between cybersecurity-related agencies. Mr Pichet said the workshop hopes to deepen understanding of each participating country's legal mechanisms related to cybercrimes and facilitate collaboration on criminal justice procedures on the issue. Mr Pichet said cybersecurity is a critical issue for Thailand's government, which has been developed by both digital infrastructure and public awareness.
