Imagine the exhilaration and pride blossoming within the corridors of the Provincial Waterworks Authority (PWA) as they stood, basking in the glow of national recognition. It was a historic moment, one marked by the dazzling ambiance of the Asawin Grand Convention Hotel in the bustling Laksi District of Bangkok. On the eventful day of December 25, 2023, the PWA’s unwavering dedication to cybersecurity bore fruit as they clinched not just one, but two prestigious accolades at the “Prime Minister Awards: Thailand Cybersecurity Excellence Awards 2023” hosted by the National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA).
But what does this mean, you ask? Let me paint you a picture. Mr. Chakapong Kamchan, the Deputy Governor (Operation 2) and simultaneously filling the shoes of Acting Governor of PWA, couldn’t help but beam with pride as he expressed his thoughts. “To be acknowledged with the Best Cybersecurity Performance Awards 2023 for Cooperation—and let’s not forget the cherry on top—a certificate of honor for Critical Information Infrastructure (CII), is a validation of our relentless pursuit of excellence,” he gushed.
The opulent affair was more than just an awards ceremony; it was a clarion call to fortify the digital frontiers of Thailand. The Prime Minister Awards, meticulously crafted to bolster the prowess in combating cyber threats, resonate with the Cyber Security Act of 2019 and seek allegiance to international standards of cyber fortification. Think of it as a grand parade where 69 awards and 18 certificates of honor were gallantly bestowed upon the crème de la crème selected from an impressive battalion of 181 agency candidates.
Take a moment to appreciate the gravity of the situation as Ms. Chommanat Phonsomphon, the Assistant Governor of PWA, lends her voice to the narrative. With a resolute tone, she declares, “Here at PWA, we’re not just playing defense; we’re leading the charge against cyber threats. We’ve cultivated a rich ecosystem of policies, standards, and alliances that bolster our cybersecurity measures to levels of international acclaim.”
This unprecedented recognition is akin to a masterful symphony conducted by PWA, a symphony that resonates through every facet of their operation, signaling their unyielding commitment to safeguard the digital sanctity of their waterworks, and by extension, the great nation of Thailand. So let’s tip our hats to the PWA, for they aren’t just the guardians of water—they are now the warriors of the web, the sentinels of cybersecurity, who have raised the bar sky-high for the rest of us mere mortals to dream, aspire, and perhaps, one day, reach.
