Trusted by federal agencies for 30 years, Merlin invites you to the CyberWatch 2026: a multi-mission CTF competition and Executive Tabletop exercise for federal teams. Sharpen your skills, stimulate conversations, test your decision-making, and gain valuable cybersecurity insights aligned to your federal mission requirements.

This is a hands-on, technical-focused, executive-centric immersive experience across three distinct tracks:

Practitioner Track

A Capture the Flag competition calibrated for participants with hands-on technical experience, competing solo or in teams of two. Under real-time pressure, secure a live environment, protect critical assets, and get ahead of cloud, data, and cryptographic risk using industry-leading technologies to capture each prized digital flag.

Limited seats available.

Executive Track

An interactive Tabletop exercise and intimate roundtable discussions designed for CISOs, CIOs, and senior executive leaders. Hear directly from top voices across federal, SLED, and industry shaping the future of cyber resilience.

General Audience Track

No hands-on component required. Attend the Keynote lunch and panel discussions, explore partner exhibits with the latest innovations, and network at your own pace.
