If you already use the Risky users/Risk Detection features in your Azure AD, these are basically the same features.

You will be able to get reporting on risky activities for your Azure AD B2C; meaning you can then be proactive to communicate with your B2C users and help them to better secure their accounts.

Being proactive means you can use the Conditional Access to setup password change and/or MFA request depending of the risk level – same as with the ‘normal’ Azure AD.

You also integrate Conditional Access with your user flow; you will need to use the Recommended version when creating the user flow
