Microsoft AzureDatabases
Managed SQL, NoSQL, and open-source databases — secured and access-governed.
Microsoft Azure Databases provides fully managed database services — Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, and managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB — with built-in high availability, scaling, and backups. Faltrox secures them: encryption, access control, private networking, and monitoring, because databases hold your most sensitive data.
Overview
What Databases is
Databases hold an organisation’s most valuable and sensitive data, and Microsoft Azure provides fully managed database services so you run them without managing the underlying infrastructure — Azure SQL Database, Cosmos DB for globally-distributed NoSQL, and managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB, all with built-in high availability, scaling, patching, and backups.
Because databases hold the crown jewels, securing them is critical. Faltrox secures Azure databases: encryption at rest and in transit, least-privilege access control, private networking that keeps them off the public internet, auditing, and threat detection — and integrates database security into the broader data governance and SOC monitoring, so your most sensitive data is defended in depth.

FAQ
Common questions
01What database services does Azure provide?
Fully managed Azure SQL Database, Cosmos DB for globally-distributed NoSQL, and managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB — all with built-in high availability, scaling, patching, and backups, so you run databases without managing the infrastructure.
02Why is database security critical?
Databases hold your most sensitive and valuable data — the crown jewels. A database breach is often the whole breach. Faltrox secures Azure databases with encryption, least-privilege access, private networking, auditing, and threat detection.
03How do you secure Azure databases?
Encryption at rest and in transit, least-privilege access control, private networking that keeps databases off the public internet, auditing of activity, and threat detection — integrated into broader data governance and SOC monitoring.
04Are backups included?
Yes — managed Azure databases include automated backups and point-in-time restore. Faltrox pairs that with a broader backup and disaster-recovery strategy so your data survives ransomware and failure, not just accidental deletion.
05How does Faltrox help?
We secure Azure databases — encryption, access control, private networking, auditing, threat detection — integrate them into data governance and SOC monitoring, and assess them through our cloud security assessment, protecting your most sensitive data.
