| dc.description.abstract | Cyber defenders work in stressful, information-rich, and highstakes environments. While other researchers have considered sonification for security operations centers (SOCs), the mappings of network events to sound parameters have produced aesthetically unpleasing results. This paper proposes a novel sonification process for transforming data about computer network traffic into music. The musical cues relate to notable network events in such a way as to minimize the amount of training time a human listener would need in order to make sense of the cues. We demonstrate our technique on a dataset of 708 million authentication events over nine continuous months from an enterprise network. We illustrate a volume-centric approach in relation to the amplitude of the input data, and also a volumetric approach mapping the input data signal into the number of notes played. The resulting music prioritizes aesthetics over bandwidth to balance performance with adoption. | |
