Automates the detection and remediation of identity-based risks. The signals that are generated and fed into Identity Protection can be exported to other tools
- **Key Tasks:**
- **Risk Detection:** Identifies suspicious actions related to user accounts.
- **Risk Policies:** Evaluates user risk (probability of compromised identity) and sign-in risk (probability of unauthorized sign-in).
- **Remediation:** Enforces measures like password resets in response to detected risks.

- **Types of Risks:**
- **User Risks:** Leaked credentials, unusual activity, known attack patterns.
- **Sign-In Risks:** Anonymous IP addresses, atypical travel, malware-linked IP addresses, password spray attacks.

- **Recommendations:**
- Set user risk policy to “High” and sign-in risk policy to “Medium and above.”
- Investigate risks in the Azure portal and export data for further analysis.
