The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) hosted its annual cybersecurity seminar for board directors in the capital market under the theme “Board Cyber Forum 2026: Governing Cyber Resilience in the AI & Quantum Era.” The event aimed to enhance board directors’ understanding of risks arising from artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum technologies, as well as their roles in corporate oversight,  risk management, and policy-setting in relation to cybersecurity and AI governance.

At the seminar, Prof. Dr. Pornanong Budsaratragoon, SEC Secretary-General, delivered a keynote address and shared her perspectives with board directors. The event brought together 150 participants from 136 organizations, including board directors, senior executives, and representatives of associations and related organizations. It was held at Eastin Grand Hotel Phayathai, Bangkok, on 25 August 2026.

In her remarks, Prof. Dr. Pornanong emphasized that business sustainability is measured not by an organization’s size or by how extensively it adopts technology and AI, but by the trust and confidence of stakeholders who are assured that the organization can appropriately manage both the opportunities and risks arising from technology. She further noted that cybersecurity is no longer solely the responsibility of the information technology function but has become a strategic responsibility under the principles of cyber governance. Accordingly, effective cyber governance requires careful judgment and wisdom, drawing on human intelligence to address the challenges posed by AI.
