ShieldForce Speaking at the Staten Island Industrial Alliance: Could One Email Shut Down Your Business?
ShieldForce Speaking at the Staten Island Industrial Alliance: Could One Email Shut Down Your Business?
ShieldForce Corporation will be presenting at a cybersecurity seminar hosted by the Staten Island Industrial Alliance (SIIA) on Tuesday, June 16, 2026. The session — titled Could One Email Shut Down Your Business? — is designed for small and industrial business CEOs across Staten Island and the surrounding region, focusing on the practical cybersecurity threats that are increasingly disrupting day-to-day business operations, financial systems, and workforce continuity.
About the Event
The seminar will be held from 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM at the May Ship Repair Contracting Corp Conference Room, located at 3075 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY. It is free for SIIA members and $25 for non-members.
The program is built around a straightforward reality: many small and industrial businesses assume they are too small to be targeted. That assumption is no longer accurate. Compromised email accounts, ransomware, hacked accounting systems, payroll fraud, and data loss are disrupting operations across every industry and at every company size. As businesses depend more heavily on digital platforms for accounting, payroll, project management, bidding, and communication, cybersecurity has become directly tied to operational continuity, insurance requirements, and contract readiness.
Topics Covered
The session will address the cybersecurity risks most relevant to small and industrial business owners, including:
- How cyber incidents impact small and industrial businesses
- Common vulnerabilities in email, payroll, and accounting systems
- Ransomware and operational downtime risks
- Remote device and employee access concerns
- Cyber insurance expectations and requirements
- Practical ways businesses can reduce exposure and strengthen protection
Attendees will also receive an initial cybersecurity and operational risk assessment to help identify potential vulnerabilities within their current systems and processes.
