    How is your login page configured against brute force? Specifically, for your Source-Based Protection settings, are you tracking by Username, IP address, Device ID, etc.? The CAPTCHA response includes a support ID as shown here:If you are using the default Blocking Response page for Login Pages (instead of CAPTCHA) then the Support ID should also be displayed to the client. The recommendation for logging is to use a remote server which you could then configure to send emails based on certain security events.
