- This paper investigates how sonification (representing data as sound) can support network-security monitoring tasks. We conducted a user study in which we compared the performance of domain experts (security practitioners) using a generic security event management tool with their performance using the tool that incorporated sonification. We compared the efficiency with which events were detected by the two populations using t-tests. We demonstrate that monitoring performance of participants was significantly improved when sonification was used. In the field, we believe these results demonstrate how leveraging multi modal interfaces to study data can enhance security practitioners' ability to detect threats.
