description: This rule flags successful sign-ins reported by Microsoft Cloud App Security when a user logs into your sanctioned apps from a risky IP address. Attackers can use compromised or anomalous network locations to evade monitoring, so identifying these sign-ins helps prioritize investigation. The detection relies on threat management telemetry in the SecurityComplianceCenter for eventSource, eventName, and success status.
