Cloud & DevSecOps Security

    Cloud Security Architecture

    Secure cloud foundations. Faltrox designs cloud security architecture, secure landing zones, identity, network, encryption, and policy-as-code guardrails, so your AWS, Azure, or GCP estate is secure by default and every new workload inherits that security.

    Overview

    Secure Cloud Foundations

    The cloud fails safe only when it's designed to. Faltrox designs cloud security architecture, secure landing zones, account structure, identity, network, and guardrails, so your AWS, Azure, or GCP estate is secure by default and every new workload inherits that security.

    We build the foundation the well-architected way: multi-account structure, centralized identity and logging, network segmentation, encryption and key management, and preventative guardrails that stop misconfigurations before they're deployed.

    Whether you're building a landing zone from scratch, migrating, or retrofitting a sprawling estate, we deliver a reference architecture and policy-as-code guardrails that make secure the default, so your teams move fast without opening holes.

    Centralized identity, least-privilege IAM, and federation across accounts.

    03

    Network Design

    Segmentation, private connectivity, and controlled ingress and egress.

    04

    Data & Encryption

    Encryption everywhere and centralized key management for sensitive data.

    05

    Guardrails

    Preventative policy-as-code that blocks insecure configurations at deploy.

    06

    Logging & Detection

    Centralized, tamper-resistant logging and detection built into the foundation.

    Process

    Our Design Process

    From requirements to a well-architected, guardrail-enforced cloud foundation your teams build on.

    1. 01

      ASSESS

      We review your goals, workloads, and current cloud estate and its gaps.

    2. 02

      DESIGN

      We architect the landing zone, identity, network, and data controls.

    3. 03

      GUARDRAIL

      We define policy-as-code guardrails that enforce the design automatically.

    4. 04

      IMPLEMENT

      We build or remediate toward the reference architecture with your teams.

    5. 05

      ENABLE

      We hand over blueprints and guardrails so every new workload stays secure.

    Outcomes

    Key benefits

    A well-architected cloud foundation makes security the default and keeps it that way as you scale.

    Secure By Default, At Scale

    When identity, network, encryption, and logging are built into the landing zone and enforced by policy-as-code guardrails, every new account and workload inherits that security automatically, so your estate stays secure as it grows, without depending on each team getting every setting right by hand.

    Cheaper Than Retrofit

    Designing the foundation right avoids costly re-architecture and cleanup later.

    Faster, Safer Delivery

    Guardrails let teams ship quickly within secure boundaries, not around them.

    Least Privilege Everywhere

    Centralized, least-privilege identity contains the blast radius of any compromise.

    Compliance Foundation

    Architecture aligned to CIS Benchmarks and the well-architected frameworks.

    Built-In Visibility

    Centralized logging and detection designed in, not bolted on after an incident.

    FAQ

    Common questions

    01What is cloud security architecture?

    It's the deliberate design of your cloud foundation, account structure, identity, network, encryption, and logging, plus the guardrails that enforce it, so security is built into the platform and every workload inherits it, rather than configured ad-hoc per team.

    02What is a landing zone?

    A landing zone is a pre-architected, secure, multi-account cloud foundation with identity, network, logging, and guardrails already in place, so new workloads deploy into a governed, secure environment by default instead of a blank, risky account.

    03What are guardrails?

    Preventative policy-as-code controls that block insecure configurations before they're deployed, for example, preventing public storage buckets or unencrypted databases. They make secure the default and stop misconfigurations at the source rather than catching them after.

    04Do you work across AWS, Azure, and GCP?

    Yes. We design secure architectures for all three major clouds, aligned to each provider's well-architected framework and CIS Benchmarks, and for multi-cloud estates that need consistent security across providers.

    05Can you fix an existing messy cloud estate?

    Yes. We assess your current estate, design the target architecture, and define a remediation path, retrofitting guardrails, restructuring accounts, and centralizing identity and logging, to move from sprawl to a governed, secure foundation.

    06How does this relate to CSPM?

    Architecture designs the secure foundation and guardrails; Cloud Security Posture Management continuously monitors the running estate for drift and misconfiguration. Architecture prevents; CSPM detects. Together they keep the cloud secure by design and in operation, and we offer both.
