Microsoft AzureMicrosoft Cloud Security
Defender for Cloud posture and workload protection across your Azure estate.
Microsoft Azure Cloud Security — Microsoft Defender for Cloud — provides cloud security posture management and workload protection across Azure (and multicloud): finding misconfigurations, prioritising risk, and protecting servers, containers, databases, and storage. Faltrox operates it as managed cloud security posture and workload protection.
Overview
What Cloud Security is
A cloud estate accumulates risk — misconfigurations, exposed resources, over-permissioned identities, and vulnerable workloads — faster than any team can track manually. Microsoft Defender for Cloud provides the posture management and workload protection to find and fix that risk across Azure and multicloud.
It combines cloud security posture management (CSPM) — continuously assessing configurations against benchmarks, scoring your secure posture, and surfacing the misconfigurations and exposures that matter — with cloud workload protection (CWPP) for servers, containers, databases, storage, and more. Faltrox operates it as managed cloud security: driving down the risk backlog, tuning the protections, and feeding Defender for Cloud alerts into the SOC.

Works with
Part of the platform
Microsoft products this pairs with, and the Faltrox services that operate it.
Delivery
You buy the outcome, not the console
Managed by Faltrox
Faltrox licenses, deploys, and tunes Microsoft Cloud Security for your environment, then runs it as part of a managed service, so you get the protection without staffing another security console.

FAQ
Common questions
01What is Defender for Cloud?
Microsoft’s cloud security platform — combining cloud security posture management (CSPM), which finds misconfigurations and scores your secure posture, with cloud workload protection (CWPP) for servers, containers, databases, and storage — across Azure and multicloud (AWS, GCP).
02What is the difference between CSPM and CWPP?
CSPM is about configuration — finding misconfigurations, exposures, and posture gaps before they’re exploited. CWPP is about runtime protection — detecting and blocking threats against running workloads. Defender for Cloud does both, and Faltrox operates both.
03Does it cover other clouds?
Yes — Defender for Cloud extends posture management and workload protection to AWS and GCP, so a multicloud estate has unified cloud security. Faltrox operates it across your whole cloud footprint.
04How does Faltrox operate it?
We drive down the risk backlog CSPM surfaces, tune the workload protections, map posture to compliance, and feed Defender for Cloud alerts into the SOC — delivering managed cloud security posture and workload protection.
05How does this relate to your cloud security assessment?
Our cloud security assessment is a point-in-time deep review of your cloud posture; Defender for Cloud provides the continuous, ongoing posture and protection. Together they give you both a thorough assessment and continuous managed defence.
06How much does Microsoft Cloud Security cost in India?
It depends on the edition, how many users or devices you cover, the licence term, and whether you add deployment and managed operation. Faltrox quotes Microsoft Cloud Security to your scope; contact us with what you need to protect and we will send a quote.
07Can I buy Microsoft Cloud Security from Faltrox?
Yes. Faltrox licenses Microsoft Cloud Security for organisations in India and worldwide, and can deploy, tune and run it 24/7 from our SOC so you get the outcome without staffing another console.
