Huntsman Security is the trading name of Tier-3 Pty Ltd. It is an information security software company which provides security and compliance solutions to organisations to enable the collection, analysis and alerting/reporting on systems, user and applications activity logs, audit trails and event data. Huntsman Security was formerly known as Tier-3.

This type of solution is commonly known as security incident and event management, or SIEM. The technology has been covered by several analysts including Gartner,[1][2] Bloor Research[3] and 451 Research.[4][5] Tier-3 appeared in the Gartner Magic Quadrant in 2011 and 2012. It was reviewed by Secure Computing in 2007.[6]

Huntsman Security invented and patented a technique called Behavioural Anomaly Detection (BAD) which allows a normal baseline of system and network activity to be learnt, against which anomalous patterns of activity, which could indicate a security attack or case of misuse, to be detected. Version 2 of their anomaly detection technology was released in 2013.
