## Goal{% #goal %}

Detect an Impossible Travel event within Wiz authentication.

## Strategy{% #strategy %}

The Impossible Travel detection type's algorithm compares the GeoIP data of the last log and the current log to determine if the user (`@usr.email`) traveled more than 500km at over 1,000km/h.

## Triage and response{% #triage-and-response %}

1. Determine if `{{@usr.email}}` should be connecting from `{{@impossible_travel.triggering_locations.first_location.city}}`, `{{@impossible_travel.triggering_locations.first_location.country}}` and `{{@impossible_travel.triggering_locations.second_location.city}}`, `{{@impossible_travel.triggering_locations.second_location.country}}` in a short period of time.
1. If the user should not be connecting from `{{@impossible_travel.triggering_locations.first_location.city}}`, `{{@impossible_travel.triggering_locations.first_location.country}}` or `{{@impossible_travel.triggering_locations.second_location.city}}`, `{{@impossible_travel.triggering_locations.second_location.country}}`, then consider isolating the account and resetting their credentials.
1. Use the Cloud SIEM - User Investigation dashboard to audit any user actions that may have occurred after the illegitimate login.
