Summary
Manh Van is a security researcher with 10 years of hands-on experience in offensive security, red teaming and secure DevOps, currently operating on the Synack Red Team and leading security efforts at Maritime Bank Vietnam. He combines deep technical skills—penetration testing, vulnerability research (including discoveries in Temenos T24 browser components), malware/incident analysis, and CI/CD security automation—with practical program leadership over pentest, redteam and vuln management teams. His background as a web developer and DevSecOps practitioner means he not only finds vulnerabilities but builds pipelines and tooling to prevent and manage them, from SAST/DAST integration to secret and infrastructure-as-code controls. He has applied threat hunting and reverse-engineering skills at EY and contributed to applied R&D and CTF work earlier in his career, showing a persistent curiosity for new attack techniques. Based in Hanoi and trained at the Vietnam Academy of Cryptography Techniques, he is focused on bridging research (including exploring LLM applications) with production-ready security controls to harden banking and enterprise systems.
