Cybersecurity in Malta: Insights, Action, and Mastercard Solutions

 

Introduction

 

In Malta’s fast-evolving digital landscape, cybersecurity is more critical than ever. Mastercard, in partnership with Norstat, surveyed B2B decision-makers across Malta to uncover the current state of cybersecurity awareness, challenges, and opportunities for business resilience.

 

Why Cybersecurity Matters in Malta

  • Most Maltese business leaders are familiar with cybersecurity, but many believe management underestimates the risks .

  • IT Security Managers, CISOs, and Compliance Officers lead efforts, with core tasks managed internally and specialized activities often outsourced.

  • The main challenges: employee negligence, limited budgets, and overloaded IT teams.

  • Phishing and scams are the most common threats, followed by malware and unauthorized access attempts.

  • 70% of organizations conduct regular cybersecurity training; AI-based tools are increasingly adopted.

  • Nearly half recognize Mastercard’s role in cyber and transaction security, but one-third are unsure of the specifics.
