Methods   In this thesis, qualitative approaches which are documentary research and In-depth Interviews, will be used to develop the research solutions. First, this research will use documentary research. This can be obtained from the study of academic documents and information from various sources both domestic and international related to cyber terrorism concepts and theories. Second, in-depth interviews with more than 30 people from Thai policy analysts, technicians and international experts in cyber security have been undertaken and will be used in this research. Interviewees were selected by using a purposive random sampling method.

Results or findings     The Thai government needs to learn and prepare to deal with cyber-terrorism from a legal perspective by increasing the legal framework to cover all the area of cyber action and co-operate with international law to deal with cyber-terrorist in the future. Moreover, Thailand has to co-operate and share information with the cyber-community alliances and also develop its own legal system efficiently enough to deal with cyber-terrorists on Thai soil. In order to deal with them, the government needs to use the operation so-call cyber-surgery which can be identified the cyber attackers’ purposes, means, and their supporters. The important tactic is to start from a small point and induct to the whole point at the end. Therefore, it may be easy for Thai government to tackle this problem.

Abstract   Since the internet was invented, the global community has been rapidly changed by the advance of technology in cyberspace. A prominent issue now confronting society though, is the increase of cyberattacks which can be linked to cyber-terrorism. Individual countries in the world are now starting to address the concerns of cyberterrorism as a new means to achieve political goals. Thailand is one of these countries that has just started to pay this issue attention, but is not as advanced in dealing with the issue as some other nations are. In order to respond to the current cyber-terrorism situation in Thailand and the situation that may occur in Thailand in the future, this article shall review the definition of what cyberterrorism actually is, and the preparation plans of various governmental agencies which are at risk of cyberterrorism.  Keywords  (Cyber Terrorism; Counter-cyber-terrorism; Government sector’s Response;  Fear of Cyber-Terrorism; Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) and General public)

Introduction Cyber terrorism is caused by the change of the technology-driven social context, but retains the traditional tactics of terrorism – the use of violence to create fear, targeting innocent people causing the undermining of state credibility. These actions are largely attributed to political, religious and racial interests (Fisher & Dugan, 2017). When traditional tactics are combined with modern technology, such as the use of terrorist technology attacking corporate networks of government agencies especially the security agency and Industrial zones that affect the economy, destroying these entities will cause a huge impact at a national level. The use of cyber-attacks is one of the ways to attack the state's critical national infrastructure (CNI). Criminals must have a high level of computer skills in breaking through tightly secured systems and the attacks require sophisticated and careful planning (Brickey, 2012). The aim of this article is to explore the current situation of cyber terrorism in Thailand. Moreover, it will study the development of policies and strategies for the prevention and response of future cyber terrorism. So as to consider the current cyber-terrorism situation in Thailand and the situation that may occur in Thailand in the future, this article shall review cyber-terrorism incidents in foreign contexts and the preparation plans of various governmental agencies which are at risk of cyber-terrorism in order to evaluate the situation of cyber terrorism and the way to respond it in the future.

Conclusion Cyber weapons can be a powerful method to attack national power and intimidate state citizens. The article has suggested the government needs to be more resilient and robust than the cyber theories have predicted. Moreover, the government need to clearly define the meaning of cyber-terrorism in policy or legal acts which will then help them with the power required to control and punish cyber-terrorists in the future. There are several models of responding cyber-terrorism from different countries which the Thai government could consider.  For example, the single gateway used in China.  This method is effective because it controls all cyber activity across the country. However, this is not a model that could be easily replicated in Thailand because it would violate the rights of its citizens’ freedom.  There is a trade-off to be considered between the rights of individuals, and public security.  It should however consider the skills and education it can provide, to ensure that individuals can protect themselves and the wider population from the threat of cyberterrorism .

Regarding the re-habitation process from the Department of Correction, there are 304 inmates who were arrested under offences of the Computer Misuse Act BE.2560 that have been treated in a similar way with the other prisoners (information from interviewees). This issue should be recognized by the government that those offenders have computer skills which can be useful for the government’s cyber security in the future. Thus, they should have a specific re-habitation program to address this, that is different from the other prisoners.

The researcher selected those informants who would be able to contribute to the objectives of the research such as policy makers, qualified practitioners, government officers who are dealing with cyber threats and cyber experts. In order to resolve the research problem,  using existing

terrorism theories, to allow new conclusions to be drawn.
