The Cloud Forward

October 2025

Good day,

 
Before diving into this week's topics, a quick reminder that support for Windows 10 ends on October 14th.  This blog post covers your options and steps you can take to ensure business continuity and security. 
 
Turning to other current events and issues, we see an increase in login problems as multi-factor authentication becomes the norm for most systems and services. You can take steps to ensure you are able to restore access if needed. 

Another trend is the hesitancy of many IT service firms to work with sole practitioners, solopreneurs, and other very small businesses. This can leave you in a bind as you have some unique IT needs and challenges. You want to run your business, not be the IT expert.  Our 3T@3 Series this month frames the issues and discusses actionable solutions. 
 

Thank you for sharing your appreciation for the AI information and resources we have been sharing. To make these easier to find, we have created an AI Landing Zone. Use the link, below, to take a sneak peek and bookmark the page for future reference. The zone will update as we add more content to our resource center.

 

Thank you for being part of our community,

    Allen Falcon, CEO

    Avoid MFA Pitfalls and Lockouts

     

    Maybe you have seen the meme about spending 6 hours per day entering multi-factor authentication (MFA) codes. While inconvenience is one pitfall of MFA, improper configuration and management of MFA can lead to more damaging pitfalls and lockouts. Your ability to work can take days to recover.
