Increasing security in hybrid AD with user lifecycle management

Hybrid Active Directory (AD) environments consisting of AD and Entra ID domains can be complex to manage. When configuration settings are distributed across multiple consoles, it can be difficult to consistently apply and enforce policies across all domains. 

As a result, many organizations struggle to properly manage privileges for joiners, movers and leavers and to eliminate standing privileges. Cyberattackers can exploit excess permissions in various ways, causing significant harm to the business. 

User lifecycle management is critical to ensure that excess and standing privileges don’t slip through the gaps. In hybrid AD environments, this requires centralized management that enforces policies consistently across all domains.
