For Azure AD administrators asking:

• Do we need hybrid join?
• Do we need Azure AD Seamless SSO?
• Do we need both?
• Can we configure both?
• Why isn’t hybrid join listed as an SSO mechanism in the docs?
• If hybrid join is preferred, why does Azure AD Seamless SSO mention seamless, isn’t it better?

If you need guidance on SSO for corporate owned & managed Windows devices that are joined to an Active Directory domain, the following article is for those that have their reasons to stay with hybrid join for the moment. Even though you should go cloud-native with Azure AD Join.

When trying to protect sensitive data about known subjects such as customer or employee PII, Exact Data Matching – thanks to its ability to precisely target the right data with almost zero false positives if correctly configured – can be an extremely powerful tool.

In this session we will discuss how EDM works in detail, go over the deployment process, discuss possible caveats and pitfalls, and share advanced techniques for ensuring a successful deployment.
