## Threat types
27+
28+
Advanced Threat Protection for Azure Cosmos DB detects anomalous activities indicating unusual and potentially harmful attempts to access or exploit databases. It can currently trigger the following alerts:
29+
30+
- **Access from unusual locations**: This alert is triggered when there is a change in the access pattern to an Azure Cosmos account, where someone has connected to the Azure Cosmos DB endpoint from an unusual geographical location. In some cases, the alert detects a legitimate action, meaning a new application or developer’s maintenance operation. In other cases, the alert detects a malicious action from a former employee, external attacker, etc.
31+
32+
- **Unusual data extraction**: This alert is triggered when a client is extracting an unusual amount of data from an Azure Cosmos DB account. This can be the symptom of some data exfiltration performed to transfer all the data stored in the account to an external data store.
