Triskele Labs has achieved the Microsoft Cloud Security specialisation, a milestone in our partnership with Microsoft and an independent marker of our team's proven expertise in securing Azure, hybrid and multicloud environments.
What it recognises
The Cloud Security specialisation sits above the Solutions Partner designation in Microsoft's partner programme. It validates capability in protecting cloud and hybrid infrastructure: Azure and multicloud workloads through Microsoft Defender for Cloud, cloud security posture against the Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark, identity and access to cloud resources through Microsoft Entra, and detection and response across the estate in Microsoft Sentinel.
To earn it, a partner must hold the Security Solutions Partner designation, meet a high bar for certification and performance thresholds, and pass validated customer references.
Why it matters
As organisations move more infrastructure into the cloud, the attack surface moves with it. The workloads, storage, the data they hold and the identities governing access to them are now primary targets.
Most cloud compromises still come down to misconfiguration: storage left public, over-privileged identities and service principals, internet-facing workloads without controls, or security signals that are not collected or monitored. Closing those gaps takes a detailed understanding of how a cloud environment is meant to be configured. Detecting an attacker who exploits one before it is closed takes the same understanding applied in reverse, knowing how an environment behaves normally so an intrusion stands out. The specialisation verifies that depth of knowledge across both, the ability to close configuration and identity gaps and to detect and respond to a compromise quickly when one occurs.
What it means for clients
Our managed detection and response service runs from an Australian-based Security Operations Centre, monitoring client environments 24x7x365. Monitoring on that scale generates a constant stream of signals, and its value depends on whether the people reading them can tell a genuine threat from ordinary activity.
This specialisation is Microsoft's independent confirmation that our analysts understand how cloud environments are built and how they behave. That holds across the team, on every shift. An analyst who knows what normal looks like catches an attack earlier and responds before it spreads.
