CTF as a Service — we run the platform, you run the event
Launch a branded capture-the-flag competition without standing up a single server. Challenges, scoreboards, isolation, scaling and support — delivered as a managed service.
IIDefinition
What is CTF as a Service?
CTF as a Service is a managed delivery model for capture-the-flag competitions: a provider operates the entire platform — hosting, challenge infrastructure, registration, scoreboards and scaling — while your team focuses on the event itself. Instead of installing and maintaining self-hosted software for every competition, you create the event in the browser, add challenges, and invite participants; isolated environments, access control and competition-day load are handled by the service. CTF-Hub provides CTF as a Service as a white-labeled, enterprise-grade platform used for security competitions, hands-on training and talent assessment.

What the managed service includes
Fully managed hosting
No servers, no patching, no scaling plans. The platform runs in the cloud and absorbs registration spikes and competition-day load.
Isolated challenge environments
Each challenge runs in its own containerized environment, so one solved box never becomes a bridge into another team’s work.
White-label branding
Your name, your logo, your domain. Participants experience your event — the platform stays invisible.
Scoreboards & analytics
Live scoreboards, solve telemetry, skill-gap analytics and exportable reports for stakeholders after the event.
Enterprise access control
SSO/SAML, role-based access, per-tenant data isolation and 2FA — the controls your security team will ask about first.
A team behind the event
Support through setup and live operation, so your organizers run the competition instead of debugging it.
IVHow it works
From zero to live event in three steps
Create the event
Define rounds, scoring and teams in the browser — same day, no infrastructure project.
Add challenges
Author your own with the built-in tools, or start from templates across web, crypto, forensics and more.
Invite and run
Magic links or SSO bring participants in; scoreboards, isolation and scaling are already handled.
VCompare
Managed service vs self-hosting
- No installation, upgrades or security patching — the platform is always current.
- Competition-day scaling is the service’s problem, not your weekend.
- Per-challenge isolation out of the box instead of hand-built sandboxing.
- Analytics, SSO and white-labeling included rather than bolted on.

VIQuestions
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can we launch a CTF with CTF as a Service?
Same day. You create the event in the browser, add challenges from templates or your own authoring, and invite participants with magic links or SSO — there is no infrastructure to provision first.
What does the managed service include?
Hosting and scaling, isolated per-challenge environments, registration, live scoreboards, analytics and support. Your team designs and runs the event; the platform operations are handled for you.
Can the competition run under our own brand?
Yes — white-label plans run the event under your name, logo and domain, so participants experience your competition, not a third-party tool.
Is CTF as a Service only for competitions?
No. The same platform runs hands-on training: guided workshops, onboarding programs and skills assessments use the identical managed infrastructure, so one platform covers events and everyday training.
