Sunshine Cyber Conference
The Sunshine Cyber Conference is an annual event hosted by The Florida Center for Cybersecurity at the University of South Florida, also known as Cyber Florida at USF. We aim to bring together stakeholders from industry, all levels of government, military, law enforcement, and academia to share information, network, explore ideas, and learn about the latest in cybersecurity best practices. With world-class speakers, live demonstrations, exhibitors, and sessions, the two-day event serves as a forum for thought leaders, professionals, and anyone interested in cybersecurity to learn, engage and connect.
Speaker Details
Join an extraordinary fireside chat as General (Ret.) Frank McKenzie and Winn Schwartau, author of The Art & Science of Metawar, dive deep into the transformative role of AI in modern warfare and global conflicts. General McKenzie, the former Commander of U.S. Central Command, offers unparalleled insight from his time leading military operations across complex theaters. Meanwhile, Schwartau, a cybersecurity pioneer since 1983, brings decades of expertise on internet security, cyber privacy, and the evolving landscape of cyber warfare. Together, their unique perspectives promise an unfiltered discussion on the future of war in the age of AI.
