What If “It Won’t Happen to Us” Is the Biggest Risk of All?
Graphic Media Alliance is excited to announce that David Mauro, cybersecurity expert, keynote speaker, and creator of the award-winning Cyber Crime Junkies podcast, will be bringing his newly released Moving Target trilogy to the Michigan Leadership Summit on May 21 in Romulus, Michigan. Signed copies of the books will be raffled off exclusively for attendees during the event.
The Moving Target series is not written for IT professionals. It is written for business leaders, owners, managers, and everyday decision-makers who believe they are too smart, too experienced, or too careful to become victims of cybercrime.
Drawing from real criminal operations, real scams, and real-world cybercrime cases, the trilogy explores ransomware attacks, account takeovers, elder fraud, AI-powered social engineering, synthetic identity fraud, voice cloning, and the growing sophistication of organized cybercrime syndicates.
The books follow the fictional story of COO Stevie Parker, a capable business leader who makes the same small, understandable decisions that real people make every day — until everything changes. As Mauro explains, the goal is to help readers move from passive awareness to active preparedness.
Mauro’s work resonates because it strips away technical jargon and translates modern cyber threats into plain English through compelling storytelling rooted in reality. The series highlights an uncomfortable truth for today’s business environment: cybercrime has evolved into organized operations that function with the structure and sophistication of major corporations.
Attendees of the Michigan Leadership Summit will have the opportunity to hear directly from Mauro while also entering to win signed copies of Moving Target: The Art of Online Camouflage and Moving Target: The Obedient Machine.
For leaders navigating increasingly connected operations, AI tools, remote workflows, and growing digital risk, this session promises to be both eye-opening and highly relevant.
