Microsoft AzureContainers
AKS, Container Apps, and registry — with container security built in.
Microsoft Azure Containers — Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Container Apps, and Container Registry — run containerised and microservices workloads at scale. Faltrox secures them end to end: image scanning, runtime protection, Kubernetes hardening, and network policy, through our dedicated container security service.
Overview
What Containers is
Containers and Kubernetes are how modern applications are built and run, and Microsoft Azure provides the platform: Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for managed Kubernetes, Container Apps for serverless containers, and Azure Container Registry for images.
Containers bring their own security challenges — vulnerable images, insecure Kubernetes configuration, excessive privileges, and runtime threats — that traditional security misses. Faltrox secures the container estate end to end: scanning images for vulnerabilities before deployment, hardening AKS and Kubernetes configuration, enforcing network policy and least-privilege, and protecting workloads at runtime — delivered through our dedicated container security service and Defender for Containers.

How it works
The mechanism
How the product moves from signal to protected state, step by step.
- 01
Build
Container images are built and stored in Azure Container Registry.
- 02
Scan
Faltrox scans images for vulnerabilities before they are deployed.
- 03
Deploy
Workloads run on AKS or Container Apps at scale.
- 04
Harden
Faltrox hardens Kubernetes configuration and enforces network policy and least privilege.
- 05
Protect
Defender for Containers and the SOC protect workloads at runtime.
Capabilities
Key capabilities

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 Containers 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 container services does Azure provide?
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for managed Kubernetes, Container Apps for serverless containers without managing Kubernetes, and Azure Container Registry for images — the platform to build and run containerised and microservices workloads at scale.
02What are the security challenges with containers?
Vulnerable images, insecure Kubernetes configuration, excessive privileges, and runtime threats — risks that traditional security misses. Faltrox secures containers end to end: image scanning, Kubernetes hardening, network policy, least privilege, and runtime protection.
03How do you secure Kubernetes?
We harden AKS configuration against benchmarks, enforce network policy to segment workloads, apply least-privilege RBAC and pod security, scan images before deployment, and protect workloads at runtime with Defender for Containers — through our dedicated container security service.
04When should images be scanned?
Before deployment (in the registry and pipeline) to catch vulnerabilities early, and continuously as new vulnerabilities are disclosed against running images. Faltrox integrates scanning into the pipeline and monitors deployed images.
05How does Faltrox help?
We secure the whole container estate — image scanning, Kubernetes hardening, network policy, least privilege, and runtime protection — through our dedicated container security service and Defender for Containers, so your containerised workloads are defended end to end.
