Anomalous Activities by Geolocation

The Anomalous Activities by Geolocation dashboard is a map view showing geographic pointers where anomalous activity has likely taken place. This type of anomaly is called a geoanomaly. If geoanomalies have been detected, the map shows one or more geographic pointers identifying where the activity in question took place.

When you click on a pointer, you can display details about the user's current and previous activities, including their email address, the cloud they accessed, their location, and the activity time. Using the current and previous activity details, you can make comparisons that provide insight into the anomaly. For example, the user might have logged in to two different cloud applications using the same sign-on credentials, from two different locations. The blue pointer represents the location with the current focus.

To focus on the other location, click its pointer.

If there are multiple instances of anomalous activity from a geographical area, multiple pointers appear, slightly overlapped. To display information on one of the pointers, hover over the area with the overlapping pointers. In the small box that appears, click the pointer for which you want to view details.
