CTF & Competition Operations
Challenge design, platform and on-site operation
People solve and compete, building skills in a way they enjoy, and you find the talent along the way.
We design challenges, the platform and how the event runs around your goal and participants' level. Participants compete and improve while enjoying it, and the organization gets to gauge skill and spot promising people.

What we handle
From the first challenge to the wrap-up, as much or as little as you need.
- Challenge design
Challenges and scenarios across fields such as web, systems (pwn), reversing and AI, designed and verified for your goal and difficulty range.
- Platform and infrastructure
The competition platform and practice environment, prepared for the day.
- Scoring and on-site operation
Scoring rules and running the day.
- Learning around the event
Learning before and after the event, so competing turns into lasting skill.
Event formats
We suggest the format that fits your purpose and participants.
The format follows who takes part: people inside your organization, your industry, or the wider community. Missions solved by people and AI as one team can be added to any of them.
- Internal
Your own people compete, you see where their skills stand, and hidden talent inside the organization comes into view.
- Industry
Organizations from the same industry take part together, with challenges built around that industry's systems and work.
- Public
Open to the wider community, to meet talent outside your organization and connect with the security community.
