Held on the sidelines of CYSEC QATAR 2026, the CYSEC QATAR CTF brings the summit's maxim to life: "Secure, Evolve, Prosper."
The CTF is where Qatar's brightest technical minds, alongside regional and international talent, go head-to-head in real-world attack and defence scenarios that mirror the threats facing critical infrastructure, government systems, and hyper-connected ecosystems worldwide.
The CTF will be a Jeopardy-style CTF where every team will have a list of challenges in different categories like Reverse Engineering, Web Security, Digital Forensics, Network Security, and others.
For every challenge solved, the team will get a certain number of points depending on the difficulty of the challenge. The team that will get the highest score at the end of the day will be the winning team.
