    Hi,

    First, you need to install "QRadar User Behavior Analytics app", which enables blocking of users from different geographical locations through the building block "UBA: User Geography, Access from Unusual Locations" and other associated rules.

    This screenshot illustrates a use case in my company, which effectively prevented users from other countries <g class="gr_ gr_1028 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="1028" data-gr-id="1028">attemptintg</g> to get access to our VPN.

    Hi,
    I would not go as far as saying that the use case exposed by Davit requires UBA. All you need is a rule that detects VPN connections that are not initiated from Georgia. As a first step, you might want to review the following video from Jose Bravo: https://youtu.be/u-iiDgX4PjM (aka "QRadar Monitoring VPN access from countries you do not do business with").
    Hope this is useful.

    First, create a rule that captures your VPN logins.  (Maybe you can leverage the Building Blocks, or just look for the qid's for a successful login...)

    Once you've got a basic rule detecting all logins, add the following AQL as an "and" condition:

    GEO::LOOKUP(sourceip, 'physical_country') ilike '%"name":"Georgia"%'

    If you're using the free MaxMind dataset included with QRadar, you'll probably end up with false positives and false negatives, but on the whole it should work well.

    Good luck!
