Abstract
The information generated by a network monitoring system is overwhelming. Monitoring is imperative but very difficult to accomplish due to several reasons. More so for the case of non tech-savvy home users. Security Information Event Management applications generate alarms that correlate multiple occurrences on the network. These events are classified accordingly to their risk. An application that allows the sonification of events generated by a Security Information Event Management can facilitate the security monitoring of a home network by a less tech-savvy user by allowing him to just listen to the result of the sonification of such events.
