# IP Threat Detected

Detects users logging in from suspicious IP addresses. Only successful sign in events from these IPs are considered to reduce false positives.

IP addresses have a reputation, which is similar to a credit score, that is based on its association with known bad behavior or potential risk, such as if it ever hosted malware, phishing sites, or spam. The riskier the address, the worse its reputation. Like a credit score, its reputation takes a while to clear.

Known IPs and allowed domains can be configured under Check Settings to increase the accuracy of the check results.

Identity Intelligence uses an up-to-date risk service to notify customers when a user logs in from a marked address. See the documentation for the complete list of markers.<br>

**Recommended Actions**

We recommend contacting the end user to purge the machine originating the traffic. Implement any necessary controls to block access from the malicious or unwanted IP address.

**Default Check Settings**

Exclude known good ips: true
