Prime Minister Robert Abela, together with the Minister for Finance and Financial Services Edward Scicluna and the Parliamentary Secretary for Financial Services and the Digital Economy Clayton Bartolo, visited the offices of the Technology and Informatics (MITA) which have just strengthened their facilities with an investment of around € 1 million.
During his visit to the MITA building, Prime Minister Robert Abela noted how MITA has increased its facilities with a modern space for monitoring and ongoing security protection of government digital infrastructure, as well as data protection.
The project, with an investment of around € 1 million, was carried out in about 9 months according to the best standards set in the industry and strengthened the digital security operation at MITA thus continuing to ensure the best protection for Government information systems.
A digital forensics and malware analysis lab has also been launched. This will strengthen controls and response to incidents more efficiently and in coordination with local and international threat intelligence partners.
During the visit, Head of Facilities Management Wayne Valentine and Chief Technology Officer Jonathan Cassar explained in more detail the importance of MITA being equipped with the most modern and state-of-the-art facilities.
