EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 8

01. Executive Chairman’s Statement

Executive Chairman Tony Sultana

We proved ourselves successful also through this difficult time, once again demonstrating our strategic value to Government.“

2020 marked the 30th Anniversary since the establishment of the Malta Information Technology Agency (MITA). A year where, in addition to completing our commitments for the strategic period ending 2020, we planned a programme of activities to celebrate our three decades of success in delivering ICT services and solutions to Government. Our plans however had to be recalibrated to deal with the unexpected situation brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.

We acted promptly, before the pandemic circumstance escalated, by simulating possible scenarios that the Agency could face to continue providing its critical services to Government, in a time where the value of ICT has more than ever proofed essential. We proved ourselves once again to rise to this unexpected situation and ensured continuity of services and supported our clients to shift to remote operations as needed. This was only possible through the commitment of our employees and our investment in modern workplace technologies that provide the flexibility to support a diverse range of modern ways of working. While doing so, we continued with our plans to setup a new Security Centre that showcase our commitment towards safeguarding Government’s critical ICT assets. We continued to invest in modern technologies and tools to enhance our cyber intelligence and defense capabilities to proactively address any identified vulnerabilities and act against possible threats.

Indeed, we proved ourselves successful also through this difficult time, once again demonstrating our strategic value to Government. Yes, not only did we achieve this, but as part of our 30th Anniversary commemoration, we underwent a full organisational corporate rebranding to give our brand identity a deserved updated and vibrant image that it deserves today.
