Good day,

Currently, we use Microsoft Operations Management Suite as logging for Office 365. As part of my monthly process, logs 
are exported where it is filtered based on successful login attempts. Following which, the IP address field is upload 
to (http://www.bulkseotools.com/bulk-ip-to-location.php) allowing for the conversion of an IP address to country.

When the website completes the conversion, the results are reviewed, and a process of elimination is carried out in 
order to identify any breached email accounts. I.e. if an account has a successful login from Australia, but the 
employee is at our office (in the Caribbean), the account is flagged as compromised, while MFA is enabled, and a 
request is made for the employee to change their password.

I am inquiring about techniques members undertake to proactively detect breached email accounts and how the process of 
converting IP addresses to countries be simplified?

I look forward to receiving your response.

Regards,
