With cybersecurity challenges rising, the industry turns its gaze to An Trinh, a trailblazing figure earning international acclaim for his groundbreaking research and entrepreneurial prowess in cybersecurity. Within a short span, this 27-year-old co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Calif Inc. has carved a niche for himself as a trendsetter in cybersecurity, relentlessly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in this domain.

Trinh was born in Vietnam but intends to spend as much time in Silicon Valley to continue growing Calif Inc. Trinh’s innate passion for technology led him to pursue education at a local university, after which he decided to dive deep into the universe of cybersecurity. As his abilities and passion grew, Trinh endeavored to find methods to improve the industry—methods that have since become the hallmark of his career.

"Success in the cyber security industry isn't just about technical expertise; it's a testament to the resilience and determination of those who embrace the challenges,” remarked Trinh.

With technical understanding and a sharp mind, Trinh gained recognition among peers and industry veterans. He showcased his adeptness by presenting at globally recognized security conferences like Black Hat London, ZeroNights Saint Petersburg, and BSides Singapore. His presentations showcased his depth of knowledge and ignited discussions and collaboration among industry experts.

Beyond presentations, Trinh’s prowess as a bug hunter is legendary. His knack for uncovering security vulnerabilities has reaped generous rewards through international bug bounty programs. Among these, a standout achievement includes earning close to $200,000 from PayPal's bug bounty program within a year–a feat many can only dream of.

One of Trinh’s most influential pieces of research involves Java Remote Protocols. This rigorous study spotlighted intricate issues and led to paradigm shifts in how the cybersecurity industry approached Java security. Giants such as VMWare, Oracle, Dell, and IBM have accredited Trinh's work in this domain.

Another seminal discovery by Trinh was identifying critical vulnerabilities in the Zimbra Email Server. With Zimbra being a linchpin for over 200,000 businesses across 140 countries, this discovery had ripple effects across the globe. The NSA, FBI, and CISA referenced his work in security alerts, further solidifying his position as a cybersecurity heavyweight.

Trinh's skillset is not limited to research alone; his entrepreneurial acumen is equally noteworthy. Co-founding Calif Inc., an information security consulting firm based in Silicon Valley, Trinh spearheaded its meteoric growth. Under his stewardship as Chief Technology Officer, Calif Inc. experienced an awe-inspiring revenue escalation from $600,000 in 2021 to over $2 million in 2022. Clients have included big names in the industry such as BitGo, Anthropic, and Let’s Encrypt.

Public attention was brought to Trinh’s technical prowess when esteemed events asked him to serve as an industry judge. Events included the Globe 2023 Cybersecurity World Awards and Stevie 2023 American Business Awards, an honor that underscores the respect he commands in the industry.

"Cyber security has become a vital cornerstone of our modern society, and I am driven by a relentless desire to make a lasting impact. My accomplishments thus far serve as a springboard for even greater contributions. I am determined to leverage my expertise, skills, and passion for enhancing the industry and safeguarding our digital world,” Trinh added.

Trinh’s synthesis of cutting-edge research coupled with entrepreneurial flair makes him a figure of paramount importance. As the world progresses, An Trinh’s endeavors remain a beacon, guiding the path for both industry stalwarts and novices.

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®)—a not-for-profit alliance of leading cancer centers in the United States—today announced the signing of a Memo of Understanding (MOU) with Vietnam National Cancer Hospital ("K Hospital") and the Vietnam Cancer Association to work together to improve standards for cancer care throughout the country. Five delegates from NCCN visited Hanoi May 24-26 to sign the MOU and pilot the creation of NCCN Harmonized Guidelines™ for Vietnam.

"We are honored to collaborate with in-country experts to develop and validate Vietnamese harmonizations (and subsequent translations) of NCCN Guidelines," said Robert W. Carlson, MD, Chief Executive Officer, NCCN. "We can improve outcomes and quality-of-life for patients with cancer throughout the country by standardizing practices and addressing language barriers."

Professor Tran Van Thuan, Deputy Minister of Health of Vietnam, and Associate Professor Bui Dieu, President of the Vietnam Cancer Association, were special guests during the program.

"I believe the collaborations between K Hospital, the Vietnam Cancer Association, and NCCN are the first steps toward global best practices in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment," said Professor Tran Van Thuan. "I anticipate there will be more opportunities to collaborate in order to routinely update these guidelines and participate in numerous activities to improve the treatment and research capabilities of Vietnamese doctors."

The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) are the recognized standard for clinical direction and policy in cancer care and the most thorough and frequently updated clinical practice guidelines available in any area of medicine. NCCN currently has a library of more than 80 NCCN Guidelines®, containing the latest evidence-based expert consensus recommendations for treating nearly every type of cancer, plus screening, prevention, and supportive care. These free resources help guide care providers around the world with more than 13 million downloads per year; nearly half of registered users of the NCCN Guidelines report that they live outside the United States.

NCCN Harmonized Guidelines™ are based on the original versions of the NCCN Guidelines but also include color-coded modifications of the algorithms to represent both the optimal care that low- and mid-resource countries aspire to provide and pragmatic approaches that provide effective treatment options for resource-constrained settings. NCCN Harmonized Guidelines™ have already been published in collaboration with local experts in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean.

"We look forward to building off the highly-regarded NCCN Guidelines, taking into account our local circumstances, physiologic and risk differences, accessibility, regulations, and technology, to better serve people with cancer across Vietnam," said Professor Le Van Quang, Director – Chairperson of K Hospital. "By making the highest standards in evidence-based care more accessible, we can help all of our patients to live better lives."

While in Hanoi, Gregory J. Riely, MD, PhD, Vice Chair, Clinical Research, Department of Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Member of the NCCN Guidelines Panel for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, worked with local experts in Vietnam to create a pilot version of NCCN Harmonized Guidelines™ for Vietnam: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. He was joined by Dr. Carlson; NCCN Chief Medical Officer Wui-Jin Koh, MD; Oncology Nurse Practitioner from Stanford Health Services, Kathleen Smith, RN, MS; and NCCN Senior Manager, Global Policy & Strategic Alliances, Katherine Winckworth-Prejsnar, MPH.

Next steps for this project include nine additional harmonizations to cover the top 10 highest-incidence cancer types for Vietnam. The NCCN Harmonized Guidelines for these 10 cancer types will also be translated into Vietnamese by professionals with advanced degrees and experience in the medical field.

There are currently more than 250 translations of the NCCN Guidelines and clinical resources across 69 languages plus more than 50 NCCN Harmonized Guidelines™.
