NEC PROVIDES CYBER DEFENCE TRAINING FOR THAI GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 16 (Bernama) -- NEC Corporation (NEC) subsidiary, NEC Corporation (Thailand) has provided Thailand's Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA) with hands-on cyber defence training for government agencies in that country.

NEC in a statement said the training was held in Bangkok, Thailand from Dec 6 to 9 for more than 50 government officials from the ETDA and other government agencies.

"NEC's hands-on cyber defence training aims to enhance the abilities of system administrators in government agencies to effectively handle the
increasing threat of cyber-attacks.

"By providing simulations of a customer's ICT (Information Communication Technology) infrastructure, the practical training enables the cultivation of system administrators with comprehensive cyber defence capabilities," it added.

According to NEC, the ETDA, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society, is one of the agencies responsible for cyber security in Thailand.

"As part of this, the ETDA operates ThaiCERT, the Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) responsible for handling computer security incidents in the country," said the statement.
