CRASH COURSE: Hybrid Identity Security & Recovery

Hybrid identity is one of the most abused attack surfaces in modern environments. Attackers exploit Active Directory misconfigurations, Entra ID privileges, and the hybrid sync layer to escalate access, establish persistence, and remove recovery options before defenders can respond.

This crash course breaks down how real-world hybrid identity attacks work and why traditional detection and backup strategies consistently fail. You will gain practical insight into where identity environments are most exposed and how resilient organizations respond when identity is compromised.

What You Will Learn

How attackers abuse common Active Directory and Entra ID misconfigurations to gain persistent access
Where hybrid identity components such as Entra Connect and federation are most vulnerable
How techniques like DCSync, Shadow Admins, and privilege abuse bypass monitoring and MFA
Why prevention and detection alone are not enough during identity incidents
How to roll back malicious identity changes and recover Active Directory and Entra ID quickly

Who This Is For

Active Directory and Entra ID administrators
Identity and access management professionals
Security engineers and incident responders
Infrastructure and hybrid cloud administrators
IT and security leaders responsible for identity resilience and recovery
