IT THREAT MANAGEMENT IN REAL-TIME

Huntsman is an early warning IT threat management system that sees everything and provides context around anomalous events for easy reporting and remediation. Huntsman is unique in its ability to provide valuable information to all levels of the enterprise on the nature and status of threats and their management.

Huntsman intelligently protects the enterprise by monitoring business applications, operating systems and the network in real-time. It is proven in high volume mission-critical installations in defence, government and corporate environments, both locally and internationally.

The Tier-3 team has unparalleled experience in behaviour-based IT security solutions and through the Huntsman product suite and services provides a threat management solution that supports the operational and compliance needs of analysts, risk managers and senior executives.

Huntsman is able to provide real-time threat management by automatically and intelligently determining the context and level of threat raised by each log file and responding immediately to unusual events. By detecting both known as well as previously unknown log files Huntsman recognises potential threats and instantly alerts for immediate remediation. Using its patent pending Behavioural Anomaly Detection technology Huntsman automatically establishes the normal activity and log files in the enterprise and immediately detects unusual events threatening networks, operating systems and applications.

Huntsman significantly assists the process of the security analyst by providing real-time security insight into the nature of the event and its level of potential threat. By integrating the risk management process (AS/NZS 4360:2004) into the Huntsman product Tier-3 engineers have empowered security analysts with threat management capabilities. The universe of risk includes known and unknown threats and only Huntsman has the ability to detect and analyse both types. As a result only Huntsman is able to protect the enterprise from attack and automatically counter real threats.

Huntsman uses sophisticated algorithms and risk management methodologies to provide true IT threat management. The granularity of the threat information enables the threat context to be instantly established and a more complete and effectual threat management process achieved. At a business level Huntsman provides threat reporting appropriate for IT operations management and its supporting of continuity. Huntsman provides tangible business benefit through proven ROI.

At the operational level analysts and CIOs benefit from its ability to immediately identify and remediate alerted threats and so maintain security assurance and system confidentiality, integrity and availability. Risk Managers benefit in its ability to provide IT risk management information suitable for upload into the enterprise risk management and compliance system. CEOs benefit from Huntsman's ability to monitor IT governance and instantly manage remediation and report against compliance and legislative obligations. See Fig 1.0 below.

Huntsman uses Tier-3's next generation hybrid behavioural anomaly detection (BAD) technology to protect intellectual property and sensitive information and instantly alert on any illegal or non-compliant business or IT activity. By collecting and centralising audit logs and security information from across the enterprise Huntsman uses standards-based risk management methodologies to enhance the security management process. Huntsman delivers real-time audit information on business activities and permits immediate remediation of any emerging IT risk across the enterprise. Additionally, it protects the enterprise against known and unknown malicious activity on the perimeter, thus, enabling Huntsman to protect the enterprise from external threats as well as monitoring compliance on internal business applications and activities.

Tier-3 continues to develop its highly-skilled multidisciplinary team so that the principles of mathematics, risk management, IT and asset security are integrated into more sophisticated security technology in order to fulfill the demands of enterprises with complex operational environments and compliance obligations.

In this way, Huntsman remains the benchmark for IT threat management solutions that satisfy the requirements for increased IT asset protection and system integrity.
