Parinya Hom-Anek warns Thailand to deal with Digital Risk instead of Cyber ​​​​Risk, predicts that digital threats will worsen in 5 years if they do not change their perspective

Cybersecurity guru warns Thai people that it will be bad if they only look at Cyber ​​Risk, repeating that everyone has to deal with “Digital Risk” A new trend is changing the digital world completely. Repeat if you are not in a hurry to adjust your perspective Disaster can befall any person. and there will be at least 5 other more serious disasters until they affect the whole country

Mr Parinya Hom-Anek, Executive Chairman of ACIS Professional Center Co, Ltd, during the press briefing on the details of the CDIC 2022 event said that the key basics of cyber security that everyone must know and keep up with from this on. There are 2 main issues: 1. Cyber ​​Risk should be moved from a perspective to digital risk (From Cyber ​​Risk to Digital Risk) and 2. Digital inequality. It should be converted into digital inequality (From Digital Divide to Digital Inequality), most people may not know. These points are completely different. and if the leaders of national agencies were corporate executives including the people I do not know and I do not fully understand, it may be an unexpected loss.

“It has to be changed to Digital Risk because today’s corporate and individual risks no longer have to be cyber-attacks caused by hackers. For example, the risk if the victim accidentally transfers money to a scammer. which arises from the cyber-savvyness of each person which is not equal,” said Prajadhipok.

Degree confidently, if you do not hurry to change your perspective The dangers that surround him will come. Therefore, it is believed that the damage from digital threats in Thailand will be more serious in the next 5 years.

“It’s not just a waste of money. but it can be brain washing, directing or affecting everyday life causing ignorance to affect the country And the answer is to adapt people in society to get as much information as possible. “

The damage caused in Thai society can be determined from the statistics, numbers, number of reports online through the web https://www.thaipoliceonline.com. by the Technology Crime Investigation Bureau The cumulative total between March 1 – June 27, 2022 was found to be 44,144 cases, which represents more damage. 3,014,394,216 baht for 4 months. Initially, Parinya estimates that compensation could exceed 8 billion baht this year. If you are calculating, include groups that are not reported

The rating also cites a Gartner survey. It has been found that data security problems can be caused by internal and external factors including insufficient skills to use digital and digital transformation which is in the past Some large corporations send people to study abroad for millions of baht in tuition fees. But this information will be communicated at CDIC 2022 to create a DRP or Digital Risk Protection Service that is not only focused on hacker or ransomware prevention.

****Digital Partition escape

In addition to Digital Risk, another new trend affecting the digital world from now on is “Digital Inequality” or digital inequality. This will be a problem that replaces the digital divide.

“Sharing is the name of the situation where the Internet has not yet been reached in some villages, but now almost every home has access to the Internet. So the problem is that some people still cannot access the data. It makes them believe and become a victim because they don’t have the skills,” added Parinya, adding, for example, a group of people who also use smartphones. But one group of users can set security settings so that apps cannot access local data, while another group does not know and does not have the skills to establish such security.

For CDIC 2022, this year is the 21st year, organized under the concept of “Optimizing the Security of Things and Digital Supply Chain Risk”. both preparing for the secondary law under The Cyber ​​Security Act and the Personal Data Protection Act including risk management in the digital information age Blockchain developments, powered by AI, adoption of Quantum, both positive and negative, and an upgraded version of the new ISO/IEC 27002:2022 in 11 years (since 2013) to raise the cyber security issue.
