Torq secures $140 million to advance AI-driven security operations

Torq Ltd., a security hyperautomation platform company, has announced a significant funding round, raising $140 million at a $1.2 billion valuation. This capital infusion is intended to accelerate the adoption of its artificial intelligence-driven security operations platform and bolster its go-to-market strategies, according to a recent report by Silicon Angle.

Founded in 2020, Torq's platform enables security operations teams to automate and scale workflows beyond traditional methods. It integrates with existing security systems, including SIEM, EDR, identity platforms, firewalls, and collaboration tools, allowing for the creation of code-free automated processes. The no-code, agentless approach facilitates coordinated actions across an organization's security stack. Torq's hyperautomation combines traditional automation with AI-driven decision-making, utilizing multi-agent systems that adapt to threat contexts, triage alerts, enrich data, and autonomously decide on next actions.

The platform also features AI agents designed to act as 24/7 digital security analysts, handling alert triage, threat investigation, and remediation, thereby freeing up human experts for strategic tasks. Major companies like Marriott International, PepsiCo, and Siemens are reportedly using Torq's agents for millions of security actions daily. This substantial funding round underscores the growing demand for AI-powered solutions in cybersecurity.
