Office 365 setting for security

Is there a setting in Office 365 that will send an alert if someone logs into your account?

On Google Apps, there is a setting where anytime somebody logs in from a new browser/pc an email (or text if you want) is sent to the user. Is there any similar feature in Office 365?

Thanks
This feature doesnt really prevent anyone from gaining access, it's just auditing. But yes, it can be configured in Office 365, take a look at Azure AD Identity Protection (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-identityprotection) or ASM/Cloud app security (https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-activity-policies-and-alerts-in-Advanced-Security-Management-367f25d3-10a0-4a91-bdae-70ebb7a79c98). Both of these require additional licensing, if you want free service you can configure alert notifications from the Security and Compliance center, but you cannot limit those to unknown IPs (i.e. they will trigger for *every* login).

Or, as advised above, simply configure MFA and dont waste time reviewing logs *after* someone gains access.
