Aiden is a world-renowned cyber-security analyst who successfully thwarts complex global cyber-attacks. His mother was a software engineer who taught him coding languages from the age of 5 and set up daily programming challenges for him.

Aiden is being interviewed about his achievements. In the interview, he says: 'People ask if I was born with a digital brain or if it was just my upbringing. Honestly, whenever I see a system, I have this uncontrollable, obsessive urge to find its vulnerabilities. It’s like my life was pre-programmed; I never really chose this path, I was just wired to do it.'
