What is Hybrid AD?

Hybrid AD refers to a setup where an organization uses both on-premises Active Directory (AD) and cloud-based Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). This allows organizations to manage user identities and access to resources across both environments. It's commonly used for organizations migrating to the cloud, those with a mix of on-premises and cloud resources, or those wanting to leverage specific features of Azure AD while maintaining their existing AD infrastructure. Common use cases include single sign-on (SSO) for cloud applications, centralized identity management, and conditional access policies.
