What sponsorship buys

A logo is the floor of every tier. The real value is talent, credibility, and a theme no one else has.

Access to vetted talent

Screened practitioners, mostly early-to-mid career, offensive and defensive. The opt-in candidate shortlist at Platinum is the recruiter's actual prize.

Credibility by association

Backing a rigorous, practitioner-built competition signals a security-first, current brand to the people who notice.

A theme nobody else has

Total Warfare places you beside realistic energy, telecom, healthcare, finance, and defense scenarios — alignment a sector brand pays a premium for.

On every certificate, every tier

Every sponsor appears on the certificate each participant downloads, keeps, and shares — durable, travelling exposure on a credential people actually hold onto. Prominence scales by tier: Platinum largest and at the top, Gold medium, Silver grouped below.

A 2025 certificate sample is shown alongside as proof of format.

Each tier includes everything below it. A cell shows what that tier adds or makes bigger.

Contribute a product at any tier and it becomes a prize — a claim-a-trial opt-in puts it in front of every player who wants it. Warm, opted-in reach, no ad spend.

What We Don't Promise

So you know exactly what you are getting:

  • Guaranteed hires or talent-acquisition metrics
  • Bespoke deliverables outside the published tiers — the table above is the whole menu
  • Speaking slots or closing-ceremony recognition
  • Selling participant data. Reporting is aggregate and anonymized by default. An opt-in candidate shortlist — including named performance for participants who explicitly consent — is available at Platinum only.
