Gotitas del Saber
OCTOBER 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of Cybersecurity Awareness Month!
This celebration was created in 2004 as a collaborative effort between the US Government and Industry to ensure everyone has the resources they need to stay safer online and empower everyone to protect their personal data from digital forms of crime.
This year’s focus is “It’s easy to stay safe online”. Without a doubt, the list of the main technological risks for 2023 is headed by:
- Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).
- Robotic Automation of Processes (RPA).
- Edge Computing.
- Quantum Computing.
- Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR).
- Blockchain.
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- More sophisticated forms of ransomware.
- 5G.
As you can see, the attack vectors towards users and companies have diversified in recent times. The use of new technological trends in 2023 also influences the level of risk for users. Therefore, this year Cybersecurity Month will focus on strengthening the following security principles:
- Use strong passwords and a password manager
- Turn on multi-factor authentication
- Recognize and report phishing
- Update software
- Periodic backups
- Least privilege policies
Remember that our Cybersecurity team is always on the lookout to monitor possible cyber threats to the company, as well as protect information assets.

What is the Órale Award and why People Thrust does it?
At People Thrust we like to practice gratitude and recognition. This award is given to People Thrust’s collaborators when they have done something that goes above and beyond while representing People Thrust among peers, clients, and others. We recognize people that have represented our mission, vision, and/or core values one way or another. As a company, we are grateful to have such individuals in our team. Want to learn more?

Men Empowerment Monday: Eduardo Nahuel Rodriguez
People Thrust values the talent of our collaborators. We believe in continually developing and growing as individuals and professionals. What better way to promote our talented and amazing collaborators, than to feature someone new every month! This will give you the opportunity to learn about them, connect in ways you maybe didn’t know you shared similarities, and build relationships within our team beyond just our jobs! Since we like “catchy” names, we decided to call this spotlight MEM – Man Empowerment Monday, WEW – Women Empowerment Wednesday and They Empowerment Thursday. Our Culture & Community Relations Coordinator will interview a collaborator within People Thrust and share their story in our newsletter.
What’s New & Upcoming:
Must of you have talked or heard about Paulina Collazo. Let’s congratulate her as she recently got promoted to Human Resources Administrator. Congratulations Pau! Wishing you all the best. 🙂
