ICT Solutions has announced its attainment of the prestigious Microsoft Advanced Specialisation on Cloud Security, becoming the first Maltese Microsoft Partner to do so.

This achievement comes on the heels of ICT Solutions being elevated to member status within the prestigious Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA).

MISA members are top experts from across the cybersecurity industry with a shared goal of improving customer security.

Membership is on a strictly invite-only basis, representing less than one per cent of partners worldwide, and ICT holds the only membership in Malta.

To earn an advanced specialisation, a partner must fulfil demanding requirements, including customer references, proving attainment of a relevant skill set, and meeting other performance measurements.

The process differentiates between partners who have integrated Microsoft’s best practices into their organisational repertoire at all levels and those who have not.

By meeting these strict requirements, partners can then validate their deep knowledge, extensive experience, and proven success at delivering tailored, customer solutions for areas of high customer demand and relevance.

ICT Solutions Chief Technical Officer Josef Sammut said: “This achievement is both a validation of the people and processes we use internally to deliver cutting edge security to our cloud customers, and also showcases ICT’s desire to keep pushing the envelope.”

“I am excited about what the future holds for the ICT team, as this is just the latest step in ensuring our customers can benefit from a truly world class level of service,” he added.

Since ICT Solutions was established in 2009, its presence in the Cloud and IT Security sectors has grown significantly, providing services to businesses operating in industries such as financial services, iGaming, aviation, banking, health and local government.
