A county keeps on-premises Active Directory while rolling out cloud apps for permitting. Which hybrid architecture consideration should security prioritize?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Hybrid is two neighborhoods connected by a bridge—the bridge is where trouble likes to hitch a ride. Lock down how identities and connectivity cross from AD into cloud apps. Pretending hybrid means fewer auth controls is the opposite of reality.
Full Explanation
Hybrid architectures combine on-premises identity with cloud applications, introducing trust relationships, sync/federation paths, and connectivity that must be secured end to end. Weak federation, exposed sync endpoints, or skipped monitoring create cross-environment attack paths. MFA remains relevant, logging should increase on critical identity paths, and cloud apps typically integrate with directory identity rather than floating without it.
