Azure AD My Sign-Ins Activity Report

Security has been one of the most concern topic since very long in IT industry, but now it comes with transparency. Everyone wants transparency with the system logs. Looking a part of transparency, Azure AD has been provided by new feature to get report of your sign-ins. It seems to be like normal and reactive feature for the incident but is quite important evidence for the suspicious login in specific account. Like,

• If anyone is trying to guess their password.
• If an attacker successfully signed into their account from a strange location. (in other words, somewhere that the user knows they weren’t at the time).
• What apps the attacker accessed.

And the best part, you don’t require to ask your admin to check all these activities. It’s on your own fingertips.
