Therefore, the selection of twitter as a medium for the use of the notification is expected to be the right strategy. This system will be made by sending notification via twitter when a LAN network is disconnected or attacked by intruders.Results from the development of systems that have been made based on testing the functionality of the system shows all functions of the system has been running well. While usability testing calculation of the total score of the test system interface to get a score of 38.75 out of a maximum scale of 50. This score is in the range 34-42 value (Satisfied) which means that the respondents were satisfied with the system interface. Therefore, this interface is good to be implemented in the system.
