Sign-in logs are how you notice account takeover early.

Watch for

  • Successful sign-ins from odd countries relative to your staff
  • Floods of failed then successful MFA prompts
  • Sudden use of legacy protocols you thought you blocked
  • New MFA methods added to an account

Response

Contain first (disable/reset), then investigate. Do not only “monitor.”
