Short Bytes: Reuben Paul is a cybersecurity
expert who lives in Austin, Texas, and attends

Ground Zero Summit as a ‘special

His name is Reuben Paul and he’s just 9 years old.
This third grader is already an accomplished
hacker, cybersecurity expert and an app developer.
What’s more is the fact that he’s the CEO of his
company Prudent Games.
Last year at the Ground Zero Summit, Paul
delivered his keynote on Children’s Day. This year,
he was the youngest attendee at one of the biggest
hacker conferences in the world.
He’s attending the conference being held at the
Ashok Hotel in New Delhi as a ‘special ambassador’
to encourage the kids to learn more about
cybersecurity. Quoting his hero Spiderman, Reuben
says, “With great hacking skills you get power, and
with great power comes great responsibility.”

“With all the data breaches, cyberbullying and
other kinds of attacks happening on the Internet,
it’s important for us to teach kids and educate
them on the dangers so they can protect
themselves.”

Speaking at the conference, chief guest Home
Minister Rajnath Singh called the Worldwide Web
the fifth dimension of security and maintaining it
should be our top priority.
Reuben spoke at the conference and mentioned
Cyber KungFu, telling about his experiences as the
youngest Do KungFu 2nd degree black belt.
His company Prudent Games makes games that
combine fun with educational content. “Reuben was
selected for the Gifted and Talented programme
(run by the Texas education system) and had to
make a game. The others made boardgames and
such like, but Reuben who is passionate about video
games, decided to come up with one,” says his
mother Sangeetha, an IT professional herself.
Prudent Games also made an app that shows
children how to come up with secure passwords.
His another app tells the basics of Bruteforce
attacks used to crack passwords.
His father mentions that when he was just five, he
used words like firewall and he was totally
surprised. “At age five I introduced him to
Scratch, and then by six we were looking at real
world programing and security concepts,” Mano
Paul said.
Apart from hacking and app development, Reuben
spends time with his friends and takes gymnastics,
swimming, and Kung Fu lessons.
