Kasma Visitkitjakarn to Speak on Privacy Regulation at Marsh Thailand Conference

Marsh Thailand

Companies face heightened risks as the prevalence and severity of cyber-attacks across the world continues to rise. The potential for both financial and reputational damage caused by these attacks has led to many companies reevaluating their operations to minimize risk and exposure. In addition, the Thai Cabinet has approved the Personal Data Protection Bill, which would impose strict obligations on organizations regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and transfer of personal data, and implement harsh penalties for noncompliance.

To address these issues and more, Kasma Visitkitjakarn, an attorney-at-law in Tilleke & Gibbins’ corporate and commercial group, will speak on the topic “Update on Thailand Privacy Regulation” at a Marsh Thailand conference named, “Cyber Attacks and Data Breaches: The New Norm?” She will provide an update on Thailand’s privacy regulations and discuss the diverse nature of cyber-attacks and the risks of operating a business in the country, among other subjects.

Marsh Thailand is an insurance broking and risk advisory firm. The conference will be held on October 13 from 1 p.m. to 4.45 p.m. at the Hilton Sukhumvit Bangkok hotel. Kasma will present from 3.45 p.m. to 4.15 p.m., and a Q&A session will follow until 4.45 p.m. If you would like to learn more about this event, please visit the Marsh website.
