Many of us have done the initial design and deployment of Entra Connect quite some time ago. But besides the regular version updates, what has changed over the last years? Would we do it exactly the same way again?

In this session, we will challenge the presumption that Entra Connect is still required in the modern identity landscape. Can't it be replaced by Entra Cloud Sync?

We will not only highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each solution, but also look at migration or coexistence setups. And we will give you an outlook what to expect in the coming month to better support you in the decision what to do next.

And as the security guys, this session wouldn't be complete without a look at the security implications of both solutions. From lateral movement to available protections we will give insights what to be aware of when protecting these critical components.
