""AI will be essential to the future of business and society, driving innovation that demands a network to match," Scott Lawrence, the senior vice president and chief product officer for Verizon Business, said in a press release about the AWS news. "This deal with Amazon demonstrates our continued commitment to meet the growing demands of AI workloads for the businesses and developers building our future." Verizon and AWS work together closely. Verizon tapped AWS as a preferred strategic cloud provider and private mobile edge computing."
"Last month, before the AWS deal, Verizon Business released its 2025 Security Index. It found that 93% of organizations surveyed have employees who use generative AI on their mobile devices - and 64% cite compromises stemming from inputting sensitive information into these devices as their top mobile risk. Despite the fact that the threat is generally recognized, only 45% of surveyed organizations reported that they provide comprehensive training on the risks of mobile AI tools."
Verizon Business will connect Amazon Web Services data centers with high-capacity, low-latency long-haul and other high-capacity infrastructure to support generative AI workloads. Scott Lawrence said AI will be essential to business and society and that the network must match AI-driven innovation. Verizon and AWS already collaborate, with Verizon naming AWS a preferred strategic cloud provider and private mobile edge computing partner. The rise of AI is reshaping the data center business and prompting telecom partners to form new agreements. Verizon's 2025 Security Index found 93% of organizations have employees using generative AI on mobile, 64% report related compromises, and only 45% provide comprehensive training.
