The Cybersecurity, Cyber Threats, Cyberterrorism, and Cybersecurity Framework for Critical Information Infrastructure for the Ministry of Defence of Thailand

Abstract

The current cyber threats pose a unique danger that differs from traditional threats, highly sophisticated, rapidly evolving, and not limited to external sources but can also originate within a country or organization. The impact can be severe, leading to chaos and disrupting the lives of people within the nation. Preventing and countering cyber threats is challenging due to the difficulty in identifying their precise origins and the interconnected nature of cyber threats, ranging from cybercrime and terrorism to cyberwarfare. This significantly affects various agencies, particularly the Ministry of Defense, as a critical information infrastructure agency responsible for ensuring cybersecurity. It is imperative to implement cybersecurity measures in accordance with international standards, following established practices and frameworks mandated by law. Continuous development and improvement of these standards are necessary to keep up with the rapidly changing cyber landscape and effectively address future cyber threats.
