Chief Innovation Officer for the City of Las Vegas Michael Sherwood and Armis CTO Steve Gyurindak joined SDxCentral Editor Nancy Liu to discuss Las Vegas' efforts on becoming a smart city, what it's like to secure the Sin City, and what cities should look out for when building a smart-city network. Sherwood touted Las Vegas has one of the largest private cellular networks for a municipality that “provides connectivity to sensor systems, provides wayfinding as well as connecting students to schools.” “Smart City just really rolls into how we use technology to make better outcomes, create better amenities, and really create a great experience while you're here and technology is a huge part of that from safety and security to traffic flow.” Sherwood said. “We also have a mind on security and a mind on understanding our assets in ways we've never understood before.” One of the biggest things Armis discovered when securing the city is the diversity of different devices on its network, spanning from typical PC printers, IP cameras, to even game consoles, Gyurindak noted. And Armis is happy to offer the visibility for the network, he added. “Understanding the gravity of everything that is connecting and how it interacts, and being able to assemble a cogent security policy around that is what is the challenges I continuously hear,” Gyurindak said. “You need to use tools and different types of technologies to help you guard your portfolio of assets. So to that regard, budgets aren't going to balloon up right away. It really falls back to what types of tools can you provide to staff that can help them and assist them in a manner that gives them the greatest visibility of the network but also allows the business to continue,” Sherwood said. “We can't clamp it down to what we can't operate. But we certainly can use tools to help give us insights and tell us where our risks are, so that we can better defend and protect, [which] is a huge advantage.” Photo (L-R): Steve Gyurindak and Michael Sherwood.

This episode of Over the Edge features an interview between Matt Trifiro and Michael Sherwood, Chief Innovation Officer, City of Las Vegas. Michael has more than 20 years of experience in the fields of process improvement, technology, and innovation. He is extremely passionate about technology and believes that more sustainable communicates can be built through innovation, workforce development, and collaboration.In this episode, Michael explains how the city of Las Vegas is helping the community to be more efficient by providing new opportunities through innovation. The city is using technology to improve public safety, healthcare, transportation, education, and economic development. Michael discusses that by increasing connectivity and access for all communities, setting up innovation centers, and improving the city's technological infrastructure, Las Vegas will continue to be a leader of municipalities as a destination not just for entertainment but also for business and progress. ---------Key Quotes:"One of the great things about doing all these innovation projects is that we get to meet a lot of great companies. They get to come to Las Vegas and see Las Vegas not just as a place for entertainment and hospitality, but they get to see as a great place for possibly relocating and doing business in the city of Las Vegas.""Las Vegas is innovative in nature. We always think of innovative and entertainment, entertainment and hospitality. But, Las Vegas is also becoming very innovative on the technology side and really working towards diversifying its economy and attracting these new types of technologies. And, so from everything from underground to above ground, you know, you're gonna see those things here. And, it really is a testament to the community of people that live here as well as the people that are in charge.""For us it's all about creating those new opportunities, creating those collisions that between our community and business, that hopefully leads to some really great things in the future.""Las Vegas recognizes that education is extremely important and we want to build on that. And so from a technology perspective, obviously while we're not the school district, we support them in their needs. But, if there's things we're doing in the innovation space that can help students, that's what we're doing." "To have intelligence in our roadways and in our communities, the grid really is where it's gonna happen. And, it's going to be game changing for communities." "The cloud is never going anywhere. It's just another puzzle piece that provides more capability than we've had before. The cloud opened the doors several years ago. This next door that's opening is really starting to get us to the point of people starting to think about the Jetsons and start thinking about the Matrix and the technology that you see in those movies, and in some of that you start seeing the underpinnings of some of that now is actually possible." "The capabilities of the future are going to be content or data driven where you're pushing data out into the community itself. Most businesses already have good internet connectivity. So, the next part of it is how do you marry that all together." ---------Show Timestamps:(02:10) History of Las Vegas(05:00) What it's like to be the Chief Innovation Officer and CTO(07:00) Evaluating Technologies for Cities(09:00) Promoting Public Safety(10:00) Health Initiatives in Las Vegas(13:30) Vision for Las Vegas LTE Network(18:15) Transportation Trends(22:00) Making it Easier for Technology in Las Vegas(24:30) Economic Development and Jobs(27:45) Education Initiatives(33:15) Solidifying Sustainability(35:30) Bringing New Grid Technologies(40:30) Enticing People to come to Las Vegas(46:30) Importance of Connectivity--------Sponsor:Over the Edge is brought to you by Dell Technologies to unlock the potential of your infrastructure with edge solutions.

Go against the Real Estate Grain with Michael Sherwood Jack Butala: Mike Sherwood is a Real Estate investor, broker, property manager, he's been involved in Real Estate since 2007 buying his first duplex at 22, he currently owns 45 units and manages over 175 units primarily focused on multi-family homes in Buffalo. Hi Mike! Jill DeWit: Hello. Mike: Hey, how is it going guys? Jack Butala: Good, I've got Jill on the line, I hope you can hear her okay. Mike: Yeah, I can hear her, she's a little soft spoken, but I can hear her. Jack Butala: That'll change in a minute, trust me. Jill DeWit: I was waiting for that. Do you like Mike or Michael? Mike: It doesn't matter. The only time I'm usually called Michael is when I'm getting yelled at by my wife. Jill DeWit: I will call you Mike. Jack Butala: Did you get yelled at for doing a podcast at 7 o'clock on Tuesday? Mike: Well, my wife has become very understanding about Real Estate and having a business and working, so she's really kind of cool about it. When we first started dating she was like, "Oh, that's kind of cool, but it takes up a lot of time," and she didn't like it, but she kind of understands it now. Jill DeWit: That's good. Jack Butala: We always end up talking about people's spouses on these shows. Jill DeWit: It's funny. Mike: I think the reason why that happens is because you kind of need to be on the same page with a lot of this stuff, and if you're not, then you run into issues, so my wife understands it's something for our long term retirement, so she gets it. Jack Butala: We have a pretty large member base now of people where we all together buy land and sell land and sell it on terms and generate a pretty good income stream, and one of our members recently said that his wife didn't buy into this. He's one of our most successful members by the way, when he started, he said his wife was so skeptical that he had to do a real quick flip, just for like a thousand bucks I think, or 7 or 800 bucks he made on it, just to convince her that this really can work. Jill DeWit: After that one, she's in, she's like "Okay we're good." Jack Butala: Happens to all of us. I would say the worse thing that can happen if you walk into a casino is that you win in the first three minutes. Then it's like you're just prolonging the death. Mike: Definitely the case. I guess I'm very fortunate that she gets it. The only thing she doesn't like about it is that we kind of sacrifice a little bit on the Real Estate stuff because it's more of a long term strategy. She kinds of looks at it and says, "Hey, when can I buy more purses? Hey when can I buy this, hey when can I buy that?" I'm like, "This is for our kids." Jack Butala: That's great. No one can argue with that. "This is for our kids." Jill DeWit: That's good. Mike: Yeah. We don't have any yet, but I know it's coming. It's definitely going to come some time. Probably the next year or so I'd say. We're closing on a house, like an actual house to live in, rather than an investment, in December, middle of December. It's exciting, I've done it many times, but I actually got sick to my stomach when I signed the paperwork because I was like "This is the first house I'm going to buy that isn't making me money, and it's not an asset." Jill DeWit: We have to back up and record all this St...
