Configure Behavior Detection

Use the Behavior Detection tab to configure location, device, IP address, or velocity behavior settings. Behavior configurations are used in sign-in policy rules. Edit, delete, and reset actions are available to modify existing behavior settings.

Behavior Detection maintains a history of recent session contexts, and defines a new sign-in event as one with a different IP, device, location, or velocity than previous events. The number of previous events varies by type.
