… Only at the world’s #1 internet infrastructure event!
Tuesday 24th | 2:00 pm – 5:40 pm
HackerSpace at Convento Room,
Hotel Santa Isabel
Welcome to the CloudFest HackerSpace, an elite arena for exploring the sharp end of cybersecurity. Whether you’re new to hacking and looking to raise your technical game; or a veteran hacker who wants to show the Cloud industry what you can do—this is the space for you.
Technically Speaking…
The HackerSpace features a technical session stage, offering practical, technically-oriented security talks by and for CISOs, CTOs, MSPs, CSPs, and anyone interested in the ethical hacking space.
Full Schedule Below, Including:
- Legendary/notorious hackers live onstage
- Hacking Hollywood
- AI hacking agents
- The future of web security
Capture The Flag
We will host CloudFest’s own Capture the Flag tournament, the ultimate hacker eSport. Capture the Flag (CTF) is a hacking and problem solving competition, in which competitors solve security-related challenges to find “flags”, which are hidden strings of data.
It’s simple but not easy: find the flags the fastest and you win, and prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers. We’ll be sharing more details as we get closer to the event.
Who is Competing?
This competition is for anyone who wants to test their technical skills and see if they have what it takes to hack quickly under pressure.
If you’ve played CTF before, you know what to expect, and if it’s your first time… buckle up, but most importantly, enjoy the experience!
Access to CTF and The HackerSpace is included in your full access to CloudFest 2026, which runs March 23-26. The CTF will be set up alongside a technical session stage in The HackerSpace, located in Europa-Parks Hotel Santa Isabel.
If you want to show off your ethical hacking skills—or prove that you can play with the big kids—then this is the eSport for you.
