What is an "Impossible Travel" sign-in event?
This occurs when a user logs in from two distant locations within a time period that would be physically impossible. For example:
- 8:00 AM: Sign-in from New York.
- 8:15 AM: Sign-in from London. This indicates possible account compromise or session hijacking.
Why is sign-in monitoring important for security?
Sign-in logs help detect unauthorized access attempts, brute-force attacks, and compromised accounts. Reviewing sign-ins can reveal impossible travel scenarios, MFA bypass attempts, or login anomalies that indicate potential breaches.
