Huntsman Security is the trading name of Tier-3 Pty Ltd. It is an information security software company which provides security, compliance and analytics 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, but is increasingly being referred to as "Security Analytics" in many circles. The technology has been covered by several analysts including Forrester (specifically their Security Analytics vendor landscape),[1] Gartner,[2][3] Bloor Research[4] and 451 Research.[5][6] Huntsman Security (Tier-3) appeared in the Gartner Magic Quadrant in 2011 and 2012 as well as being reviewed by Secure Computing in 2007.[7]

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.
