Configure Location Rules

IMPORTANT: Activity Type or Category and Activity Count are mandatory rules to complete your custom anomaly rule statement. The Incomplete Rule message will be displayed if these rules are not added.

The Location rule allows you to detect and monitor the location where the user performs activities on the service. You can also define the rule with other parameters such as Activity Type or Category, Activity Count, Source IP, Device, and more. Anomalies are triggered when a user performs any activities on service from the configured location that exceeds the expected activity count.

The Location rule allows you to search and select the location for your rule. You can either type the location or search from the list. Multiple locations can be added and you can select a country or select all three parameters: country, region, and city (county: region: city).
