Rooted in EC-Council’s longstanding commitment to empowering cybersecurity professionals worldwide, Hackerverse provides a competitive arena for individuals across all proficiency levels to demonstrate their skills through rigorous, gamified Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges. Hackerverse was officially unveiled at Hacker Halted 2022, EC-Council’s annual cybersecurity conference that unites ethical hackers, security professionals, and industry leaders from across the globe.
A platform for thought leadership and technical exchange, Hacker Halted serves as a convergence point for innovation, research, and discourse on emerging cyber threats and defense strategies.
