PM's Office Minister Suwaphan Tanyuvardhana said Thursday that the government is studying single Internet gateway proposal as part of measures to thwart off cyber threats.
Suwaphan said the measure was being studied because the government anticipated several types of cyber threats, including hacking of government’s websites and spreading of rumors and false information to discredit various institutions.
“The single gateway is only a system that we study. The government wants to study the overall picture to improve the network so that there will be measures to thwart off various threats,” Suwaphan said.
He said the government would not use any measure to perform electronic eavesdrop or to reduce efficiency of Internet usage.
