ThaiCERT, which is responsible for handling computer Security incidents, the Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT), is also operated by ETDA.

"We are proud to be selected as a partner for providing cyber defense training programs for government agencies in Thailand," said Takayuki Kano, President, NEC Corporation (Thailand). "Building on NEC's successful track record in the field of cyber security, we look forward to reinforcing our ties with government agencies throughout the world in the cultivation of personnel who defend against cyber-attacks."
The training not only focussed on technical skills in handling a cyber-attack but provided important organizational measures for preventing the spread of damages, including possible instructions for staff and the sharing of information with related institutions.
In April 2015, Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) and Thailand's Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (now the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society) issued a joint statement announcing that the two countries would expand their existing cooperation in cyber-security and cooperate in the area of mission-critical ICT infrastructure protection. Under this agreement, Japan is expected to contribute to cyber-security in Thailand through a provision of its advanced technologies.
In November 2015, NEC, in collaboration with the Embassy of Japan in Thailand, provided hands-on cyber defense training for government agencies in Thailand through a project commissioned by the MIC.
