Prinya Hom-Anek, president of ACIS Professional Centre, an information security business, said the concept of a national agency taking charge of digital security was universal but the structure must be under the direct supervision of the prime minister with a degree of independence and not under the jurisdiction or control by any ministry. "We should have agencies with integrity and professionals like the Securities and Exchange Commission and Bank of Thailand, but the would-be agencies should not run the businesses in parallel with private companies," said Mr Prinya
