Bangkok: The Office of Insurance Commission (OIC) has announced the initiation of an intensive training program aimed at equipping its staff with the skills necessary to tackle technology-related crimes and safeguard citizens' rights.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Chuchat Pramoonphol, Secretary-General of the OIC, inaugurated the training program titled 'Enhancing Knowledge and Understanding of Technology Crime Investigation.' This initiative seeks to prepare OIC staff across the country to effectively handle emerging threats in the insurance sector. The training focuses on imparting techniques for managing digital evidence, enabling officials to prove guilt transparently and in compliance with the law, while also protecting themselves from becoming victims of technology crimes.
Mr. Chuchat emphasized the complexity and evolving nature of cybercrime and insurance fraud. He highlighted the necessity for OIC staff to develop skills that are "proficient in both principle and precise in practice." This approach ensures that staff have a thorough understanding of legal principles for legitimate authority exercise and possess meticulous investigative techniques, as even minor errors in digital evidence collection can impact case outcomes.
Beyond skill development, the OIC is preparing to advance and refine related laws to support its authority in investigating technology-related cases. This effort aims to enhance the regulation standards of Thailand's insurance industry in alignment with the digital age's demands.
