Cybercrime Prevention Policy in Thailand: A Comparative Analysis with International Standards Cybercrime Prevention Policy in Thailand: A Comparative Analysis with International Standards

Abstract

          This study aims to comparatively analyze cybercrime prevention policies between Thailand and three developed countries—namely, the United States, Singapore, and Estonia—through document analysis and comparative study. The analysis is framed across five dimensions: legislation, institutional structure, private sector participation, international cooperation, and human resource development. The findings reveal that successful countries share three common characteristics: multilateral cooperation integration, the presence of a strong central agency, and real-time information-sharing mechanisms. In contrast, Thailand continues to face four key limitations: the absence of permanent cooperation mechanisms, ineffective evaluation systems, limited engagement at the international level, and low public awareness. The study proposes four policy recommendations: establishing a threat intelligence-sharing platform, developing monitoring and evaluation systems, expanding Thailand’s role in international forums, and fostering a culture of cybersecurity.
