Corporate & Conference CTF (Capture-the-Flag) Events




What is a Capture-the-Flag (CTF) Event?

A CTF is an event where participants work in teams to solve a variety of cybersecurity challenges to find a hidden piece of data called a "flag". For example, the participants may be asked to decrypt a message, reverse engineer a binary, or trace some network traffic. Each challenge is based on a real-world cybersecurity concept and is designed to teach the concept as the participant solves it.

Why MetaCTF?

We create (virtual or on-site) custom CTF events based on your organization's needs and experience levels. Our events provide an interactive way to promote teamwork, problem solving, and cybersecurity skills. Our problems are developed in-house and are catered to follow cybersecurity industry standards.
