The Cloud Forward

April 2026

Cumulus-Global-icon-180x180

Good day,

 

Two seemingly unrelated events: (1) A sharp increase in the number of cyber attacks, particularly phishing attacks; and (2) Clients asking how many other clients use Microsoft Outlook or Office Apps with their Google Workspace service.

We see the connection!

 

Global events have heightened our concerns about our security, the economy, and the outlook for our businesses.

Your are NOT imaging things.

 

Cyber attacks are up sharply. Major conflicts provide cover for cyber attacks and provide a means for adversaries to operationally and psychologically disrupt business and the economy. 

 

Economic uncertainty triggers us to look for ways to protect our businesses. We look for ways to reduce costs and we reassess the scope and timing for new initiatives and investments.   

 

Let's take a breath! 

 

We do not really know how many of our current and future clients are paying for two sets of productivity tools. We are asking you to let us know in this month's Single Question Survey. 

 

As for the cyber attacks, you can protect yourself. We can review your security profile to help ensure you're protected from current security threats and trends. Our Cybersecurity Landing Zone offers a wide range of information as well. 

 

This month, join our upcoming events, explore our latest blog posts, and visit our resource library to uncover the tools you need to plan your next move.

 

Thank you for being part of our community,

Allen Falcon, CEO

    Cyber Attack Recovery Starts Before the Breach

     

    No prevention is perfect. No protection is perfect. You are already a target for cyberattacks, and eventually, one will likely succeed.
