In a significant step towards bolstering cybersecurity, Thailand and Israel have launched their largest-ever government-to-government cybersecurity workshop. This initiative aims to enhance collaboration and fortify cyber resilience between the two nations.

 

The Thailand-Israel Cybersecurity Workshop, which commenced yesterday, has been organized by Thailand’s National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA) and the Israeli embassy in Bangkok. Held at the Carlton Hotel in Bangkok, the three-day event brings together around 200 Thai cybersecurity professionals from various sectors.

 

The workshop focuses on tackling emerging cyber threats, sharing best practices, and developing strategic solutions to safeguard national and economic interests in our increasingly digital age. Israeli cybersecurity experts are at the helm, leading the insightful sessions.

 

During the opening ceremony, Israeli Ambassador to Thailand, Orna Sagiv, highlighted Israel’s wealth of experience in countering cyberattacks on critical infrastructures. She emphasised the necessity for global collaboration:

 

“Cyber threats know no borders, and Thailand is no exception.”

 

This workshop is a product of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the NCSA and Israel’s National Cyber Directorate (INCD). The MoU promotes bilateral cooperation through training, sharing vital information, and capacity building initiatives.

 

“The cyber threat has no borders and requires more collaboration. Otherwise, we all stand to lose,” added Sagiv.

 

Looking to future projects, Sagiv mentioned another MoU between the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) and Thailand’s National Innovation Agency (NIA), signed back in July 2018. She noted the potential synergy between cybersecurity and innovation initiatives, reflecting their interconnected nature.

 

In a forward-looking gesture, the Israeli embassy plans to host approximately 40 Thai chief information security officers (CISOs) in Israel this December. This event is part of the Cyber Week 2025 at Tel Aviv University, designed specifically for the Thai delegation.

 

“We are designing a tailor-made programme for the Thai delegation,” Sagiv shared. “We’re working closely with the NCSA to turn every new idea into an opportunity.”

 

This platform underscores the mutual recognition of cybersecurity as a joint challenge. It presents a tremendous opportunity for both nations, who are firmly committed to driving advancements in the sector.

 

As cyber threats grow in sophistication, collaborations like these become increasingly vital in ensuring national security and stable economic progress. The workshop marks a pivotal moment in Thai-Israeli relations, promising continued partnership and shared innovation in cybersecurity solutions.

What could Thailand have to offer Israel? I don't believe this is some charity for the greater good.

Any cooperation with a state that is committing such atrocities in Gaza is unethical.

Nothing. It's the other way round. Cellebrite anyone?

   Thailand has its own Gaza strip in the South (of Thailand) 

Thailand may want Israel's AI target finding software that is used to identify anyone who might possibly be a contact with anyone from Hamas which includes the postmen, medical staff and the entire Hamas run civil administration of Gaza.  Once a suitable target is identified entire neighborhoods or tent encampments can be blown up with American 20,000 lb bombs in order to get that one person who may have been related to a postman.  

 

This technology would go down a storm in the Deep South and would quickly bring the insurgency to a halt, once 90% of Muslim Malay villages there have been reduced to bomb craters.

Are you referring to Iran which has been the country behind the terror groups, including Hamas, dedicated to the extinction of Israel?

Despite this immoral comparison, it's worth pointing out that Thailand did not target hospitals, schools, journalists, women and children, UN personnel, or World Central Kitchen volunteers. What is happening in Gaza is unparalleled, and the world sees and understands it clearly.

So very true, the world sees that Hamas is a terrorist organization hiding among the Gaza people who are hiding them. Therefore, the world realizes that the Gaza people will also suffer and be killed for their treachery. The world hopes that the Gaza people will revolt and throw Hamas out of Gaza but the world is not stupid and knows this will never happen.

I'd suggest the Thai attendees leave the welcome gift bag behind.  No telling what may explode or phone home.
