The Network and Data Architecture for AI-Powered Urban Services

A successful smart city is built on a foundation of ubiquitous connectivity and a robust data strategy. This webinar provides a blueprint for city leaders on designing and implementing the core infrastructure for AIoT. We will cover how to leverage fiber and 5G to connect a city-wide sensor network and how to build a data platform that can process this information in real-time to optimize services like transportation, waste management, and public safety.

Shift + ALT + Disrupt (Episode 7): Building the Smart City's Nervous System

"Friday Forward" is a 30-minute conversation that takes place every 2 weeks and covers the Public Sector digital transformation topics that are driving conversations in the federal government, state and local governments, public safety, education and health care.

Michael Hackmer will host. There will be time for a short Q&A session at the end of the webinar.

Shift + ALT + Disrupt: Friday Forward

Many modernization efforts fail to deliver enterprise-wide value because they remain trapped within organizational silos. This session details the architectural approach of a "connectivity layer," a strategy for bridging disparate systems and applications to create a unified, secure, and efficient digital ecosystem.

Shift + ALT + Disrupt (Episode 6): The Silo-Breaker's Playbook - Architecting a Connectivity Layer for the Modern Agency

This episode of “Shift + ALT + Disrupt,” we are all about AI - exploring the latest trends in Artificial Intelligence (AI) across different segments of the Public Sector, what challenges agencies and organizations are experiencing, and how can the Public Sector organizations ensure they have a robust digital backbone to support what they are doing now and what they want to do in the future.

Speakers to be named in the weeks ahead.

Shift + ALT + Disrupt (Episode 5): AI Trends in Public Sector

In this episode of "Shift + ALT + Disrupt" we will cover key cybersecurity strategies and solutions for government agencies.

During my Cyber Panel discussion, we talk about how federal, state and local government agencies face an unprecedented set of cybersecurity challenges - from safeguarding remote workers and mobile and Internet of Things devices at the edge, to protecting mission-critical systems and data at the core. What steps can agencies take to deal with these challenges?

Then we will bring in the large Digital Transformation Panel to explore topics ranging from government mandates and zero trust, to network modernization, and securing the digital backbone that supports artificial intelligence.

There also will be time to answer questions.

Shift + ALT + Disrupt (Episode 4): Top Cybersecurity Trends for 2026 and Key Strategies to Better Protect Your Network

In this end of the year episode of "Shift + ALT + Disrupt," we will have a full hour-long discussion with our Digital Transformation Panel. 

In the first segment, I'll ask them to take a look at 2025 and talk about some of the exciting things we've seen across the Public Sector landscape.

Then, in the second segment, I am going to ask them to get out their Magic 8 Balls and predict the future of digital transformation. What will organizations embrace? How is AI going to influence what we see?

Shift + ALT + Disrupt (Episode 3): What Does the Future Hold for Digital Transformation in the Public Sector?

Join us—the Verizon Threat Research Advisory Center – for our Monthly Intelligence Briefing (MIB) to discuss the current cybersecurity threat landscape.
