This option can factor in to Conditional Access policies where you may, for example, require registration for multi-factor authentication from a trusted network location. It also factors in to Azure AD Identity Protection's risk calculation, lowering a users' sign-in risk when coming from a location marked as trusted.

Sign-ins from trusted named locations improve the accuracy of Azure AD Identity Protection's risk calculation, lowering a users' sign-in risk when they authenticate from a location marked as trusted. Additionally, trusted named locations can be targeted in Conditional Access policies. For example, you may require restrict multi-factor authentication registration to trusted named locations only.

Some organizations may choose to define entire countries or regions IP boundaries as named locations for Conditional Access policies.

Some organizations may choose to restrict access to certain countries or regions using Conditional Access. In addition to defining named locations by IP ranges, admins can define named locations by country or regions. When a user signs in, Azure AD resolves the user's IPv4 address to a country or region, and the mapping is updated periodically. Organizations can use named locations defined by countries to block traffic from countries where they do not do business, such as North Korea.
