You are correct, there are a ton of things going on in background with Identity Protection already. What I'm going for is to unify external risk evaluation systems with Azure's risk system. So if my other tools determine a user is high risk, I'd like to be able to utilize Azure's notification system to just prompt the user to click yes or no in MS Authenticator. It sounded a lot like the Identity Protection feature was more open than it actually is for integrating third party tools.
