Where’s Winn?
Sunshine Cyber Conference
Winn Schwartau + General (Ret.) Frank McKenzie Discuss The Art + Science of MetaWar
Since we last heard from Winn in 2024, his continued research while writing his newly published book, The Art & Science of Metawar, has yielded some chilling new insights into the United States’ ability to navigate foreign influence online. Cyber Florida at USF Executive Director and former Commander, U.S. Central Command, General (Ret.) Frank McKenzie will join Winn for an in-depth discussion on the future of warfare in cyberspace.

Main Talk Stage:
Winn Schwartau keynote: Cybersecurity’s New Imperative: Defending Enterprise and National Cognitive Infrastructures (by strengthening the mental immune system)
This Talk is Important—very important—for the cybersecurity industry, hackers, and policymakers from the Boardroom to the Halls of Government.
A long time ago, on June 27, 1991, Winn testified before the US Congress and was asked, “Mr. Schwartau: Why would the bad guys ever want to use the internet?”
Today, our cognitive infrastructure is under attack, and humanity needs cybersecurity professionals more than ever. Reality is only a keystroke away.

In 1991, while testifying to Congress, information security expert Winn Schwartau correctly predicted the world we now take for granted, stating that the then newly adopted internet would become a place for financial fraud, bullying and political terrorism. To which some blowhard Congressman said "Mr. Schwartau, why would bad guys ever use the internet? Now 33 years later, Schwartau is back expressing both the positive attributes, as well as his very real concerns about the new immersive world of web3, VR, XR, and the adoption of the technologies that are right around the corner.
