Military-based cyber risk assessment framework for supporting cyber warfare in Thailand

Information Technology (IT) Risk Management is designed to confirm the sufficiency of information security.There are many risk management/assessment standards, e.g. IS0 27005:2011 and NIST SP 800-30rev1, which are mainly designed for general organizations such as governments or businesses. Cyber risk assessment focused on military strategy has been rarely studied.Hence, this paper presents an innovative cyber risk assessment conceptual framework named “Cyber Risk Assessment (CRA)” which is extended from previous work with Military Risk Evaluation (MRE).This proposed CRA is the collection and integration of both quantitative and qualitative data.The Vulnerability Detection (VD) tools in Network Risk Evaluation (the previous studies) were used for the quantitative data collection and the focus group in the MRE (the proposed method) was used to collect qualitative data, which enhance the general risk assessment standard to achieve the objective of the research.The complexity of cyberspace domains with a military perspective is thoughtfully contemplated into the cyber risk assessment for national cyber security.Results of the proposed framework enable the possibility of cyber risk evaluation into score for national cyber security planning

The performance comparison of third generation (3G)technologies for internet services in Bangkok

Like other countries, users in Thailand demand to experience the highest possible level of quality of 3G services.In contrast, operators prefer to obtain maximum revenue.To facilitate these needs, this paper proposes two conceptual frameworks for (1) performance testing (QoS measurement) and (2) network optimization. The network optimization framework consists of KPI definition, network performance monitoring, parameter tuning, and optimized network processes; while the network performance monitoring process contains (1) traffic measurement (operator’s side) and (2) QoS measurement (user’s side).Operators need these information for the network performance monitoring to support the parameter tuning process and for user satisfactions. In this study, the latency tests, user data rates, and speed tests were the QoS measurements used to compare the performance of three Thai major 3G network operators; and 850/900MHz and 2100MHz bands in Bangkok.In terms of user satisfactions, the QoS measurements revealed that TrueMoveH offered the better performance in the user data rates; while AIS was the better in the latency tests.The speed tests were spitted between DTAC and TrueMoveH.Finally, the study identified that 3G services on 2100MHz performed better than 850/900MHz
