In Security Operations Centres (SOCs) security practitioners work using arange of tools to detect and mitigate malicious computer-network activity.Sonification, in which data is represented as sound, is said to have potentialas an approach to addressing some of the unique challenges faced by SOCs. Forexample, sonification has been shown to enable peripheral monitoring ofprocesses, which could aid practitioners multitasking in busy SOCs. Theperspectives of security practitioners on incorporating sonification into theiractual working environments have not yet been examined, however. The aim ofthis paper therefore is to address this gap by exploring attitudes to usingsonification in SOCs. We report on the results of a study consisting of anonline survey (N=20) and interviews (N=21) with security practitioners workingin a range of different SOCs. Our contribution is a refined appreciation of thecontexts in which sonification could aid in SOC working practice, and anunderstanding of the areas in which sonification may not be beneficial or mayeven be problematic.We also analyse the critical requirements for the design ofsonification systems and their integration into the SOC setting. Our findingsclarify insights into the potential benefits and challenges of introducingsonification to support work in this vital security-monitoring environment.
