Eight-year-old Reuben Paul is among experts who will address a cyber security conference starting Friday where Minister of State for External Affairs V.K. Singh is also listed as a keynote speaker.

In his address at the summit on November 14, the U.S.-based whizkid will highlight and demonstrate the need for developing the current generation with cyber security skills, according to the organisers of Ground Zero Summit.

“I started learning about computer languages around one-and-half years back. Now I design my own projects,” Reuben told PTI.

The eight-year-old started a gaming firm, Prudent Games in August this year and is designated as CEO of the company.

The other keynote speakers listed for the summit include Home Ministry Joint Secretary Nirmaljeet Singh Kalsi, Special Commissioner Police (Traffic) with Delhi Police Muktesh Chander and National Technical Research Organization Director of Cyber Security Operations Alok Vijayant.
