 * Supporting hybrid identity architectures, including synchronization, coexistence, troubleshooting and integration between Microsoft Entra ID and on-premises Active Directory.
 * Implementing modern authentication and authorization controls such as conditional access, multifactor authentication, passwordless authentication, single sign-on and risk-based access.
 * Supporting identity governance activities such as joiner, mover and leaver processes, access packages, access reviews and privileged identity management.
