Ministerio de Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación

Mitic, also known as the Ministerio de Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación, is the Paraguayan government ministry tasked with overseeing the country's information and communication technologies sector. It formulates and implements national ICT policy, regulates telecommunications services, and promotes digital inclusion initiatives across public and private domains. The ministry coordinates efforts to advance digital government programs, support infrastructure development, and foster innovation in the tech ecosystem. It also manages cybersecurity responsibilities, including the operation of a cyber emergency response team that monitors and addresses threats to public institutions. Mitic works closely with other state entities to ensure the security, reliability, and continuity of essential digital services. Its mandate encompasses both strategic planning and operational oversight of ICT-related activities nationwide.

The ministry’s distinguishing attributes include its specialised cyber emergency response team, which actively detects and responds to cyber incidents affecting government systems. This team activated its response protocols during the May 1 2025 incident, coordinating with affected organisations to contain threats, mitigate impacts, and assess the scope while preserving information integrity and service continuity. As a central governmental body, Mitic operates under the authority of the Paraguayan state, with no private ownership or subsidiary structure reported. Its headquarters are located in Paraguay, positioning it as the primary national authority for ICT regulation and cybersecurity coordination. The organisation’s role combines policy formulation, sector regulation, and incident response, reflecting a comprehensive approach to managing the nation's digital landscape.
