It's found in the CTRLS button at the bottom left. However, you have to set it on a per-planet basis, when it might be better announcing it whenever there's something within any of your controlled systems.

It just shows a message in the warnings box in the top left, if you want it for any of your planets there's already the attack counters on the top right.

Huge help, I was hoping there could be an audio alert such as "Enemy ships have entered a controlled planet". Then I would know to look up at those warnings and find which one they entered.

I think the only time being under attack gives an audible alert is when a home command station is under attack. Appreciated, yes, but it seems like more than that is needed.

Yup, just lost my first game to lack of a warning about my home system. Totally preventable loss too. I had half me fleet right next door, but I didn't realize some bombers had slipped past into my home system.

Whenever an enemy ship enters my home system when previously there were no enemy ships in that system, I should hear something like this:

I'd like to have this as well. Since this already exists in a form in CTRLS, perhaps there can be a galaxy-wide setting.

I haven't had this problem before, but I imagine it would be a useful addition, and I'm in favor of it.
