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

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.
