GMO-Z.com Lao and Two Other Companies to Host Cybersecurity Seminar for Critical Infrastructure with Laos Government Security Bureau (March 11, Vientiane)

On March 11, 2026, GMO-Z.com Lao Co., Ltd., GMO Cybersecurity by Ierae, Inc., and GMO Brand Security Inc., in partnership with the Laos Government Security Bureau, hosted a seminar titled "Cybersecurity Threat Prevention and Brand Security" in Vientiane, Laos. The event was designed for executives and technical staff from government agencies, banks, and internet service providers (ISPs) — organizations operating critical national infrastructure.

The seminar covered two key topics: (1) ASEAN and global cyberattack trends with practical incident response strategies, and (2) Phishing, counterfeit sites, and brand impersonation threats across Asia. Speakers shared real-world cases of phishing attacks targeting financial institutions and government agencies, along with effective countermeasures.

The backdrop for this event is a surge in cybercriminal activity across Southeast Asia amid rapid digitalization. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), annual online fraud losses in the region could reach approximately $37 billion, with an estimated 63% of Southeast Asian adults having experienced some form of online fraud. The seminar was held from 8:00 to 12:00 at Crowne Plaza Vientiane by IHG, Vientiane, Laos.

Through this seminar, the three GMO Internet Group companies aim to strengthen security measures for organizations managing critical infrastructure, improve detection and defense capabilities against sophisticated cyberattacks, and reinforce protections against online fraud that exploits the brands of government agencies and financial institutions.
