Three GMO Internet Group Companies and TWA Host "CREATORS UPDATE 2026" Event for Web Production Firms

GMO Internet, GMO Prime Strategy, and GMO Cybersecurity by Ierae, all part of the GMO Internet Group, are collaborating with the Tokushima Web Association (TWA) to host "CREATORS UPDATE 2026 Summer for Web Production Firms" on Thursday, June 18, 2026, at GMO Yours FUKURAS in Shibuya, Tokyo.

Under the theme "Accelerating Web Production with AI: Learning from Real-World Security and Operational Pitfalls," the event focuses on incidents that can occur in web production and maintenance. The session will feature insights from the three GMO companies regarding internet infrastructure, WordPress operations, and cybersecurity. Furthermore, TWA will share real-world case studies of incident response, and AI experts will provide practical strategies for common challenges faced in production environments.

The event will cover actionable know-how for web production and operation managers, including WordPress management, vulnerability assessment, AI utilization, and incident response. The session will be held in person, with an online streaming option available.

Expertise of Participating Entities: - GMO Prime Strategy: CMS operation and optimization using the "KUSANAGI" WordPress high-speed execution environment. - GMO Cybersecurity by Ierae: Security insights using the cloud tool "GMO Cyber Attack Net de Shindan" for internalizing full-scale vulnerability assessments. - TWA: Practical field perspectives and incident response case studies from regional web production firms.

Background: The introduction of Generative AI in web production is transforming processes across proposals, composition, design, and verification. While production speed is increasing, tasks such as verifying AI output, managing customer information and source code, and establishing operational rules are becoming critical.

Without proper operational rules, teams risk delays in CMS updates, flawed permission management, insufficient handovers, and unclear prioritization of vulnerability management, which can lead to incidents like unauthorized access or tampering. For web production firms, deciding where to start and how to advise clients on AI-integrated workflows are major challenges. This event was organized to share expertise and real-world examples to help address these issues.
