Welcome to Handshake's own Security News Portal, with links to articles in the security world and a listing of events and updates for the public and for our clients.

We at Handshake strive to keep our clients and the general public up-to-date on the latest security threats, advancements, and positive and negative developments in the world of information security.

Handshake's consultants frequently contribute quotes and commentary in the "Blog" section of our web site. Occasionally consultants hold or participate in "Events" organized in and around Hong Kong.

All our "Tools" are open source and we've provided links to the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual for our clients' reference. Our consultants' testing methodology is based on this model, and can be independently verified under appropriate controlled conditions. You don't need to re-hire expensive consultants who use a "secret" methodology; changes made based on the consultants' recommendations can be regression-tested by your own team following this open-source methodology, thereby doubling your value for money.

Handshake is a certified Approved Scanning Vendor for the Payment Card Industry, the only ASV with an engineering team based in Hong Kong. Holding this certification since 2006, our consultants have assisted companies in Hong Kong and around the world navigate the intricate and often confusing maze of requirements for PCI certification. See "PCI" for more articles and information.

Security breaches, when they occur, make splashy, often embarrassing headlines for the organizations and companies that face data loss or Web site defacement. But when your organization does everything right, the security professionals are your unsung heros. Security is something you don't notice until it's gone. Handshake Networking keeps your organization clean and clear--and out of the news.
