Agentic Index
Cyware vs Torq (2026)
Cyware and Torq both put AI agents over mature security automation, and Torq documents more of the grid, 12.5 of 14 against 10. That verdict is the Agentic Index coverage score, graded from each vendor's own published materials.
Cyware's strength is threat intelligence: Intel Exchange, a Collaboration Suite for ISACs and CERTs, and Quarterback AI agents that research threats, triage alerts and write detections under customer defined approvals, with an open source MCP server; pricing is scoped per engagement. Torq started as security hyperautomation and added HyperSOC agentic operations on its workflow fabric, with no public price. Both are Full on knowledge grounding, deployment, human oversight and workflow orchestration. On the grid Torq is Full on model choice, security and testing and Partial on memory where Cyware is None or Partial. Choose Cyware when intelligence sharing is central; choose Torq for the broader documented automation platform.
On the Agentic Index AI SOC ranking, Cyware and Torq both clear the bar: each documents all five investigation loop capabilities in full. 23 of the 85 vendors in the lane clear it. See the AI SOC ranking
This comparison is published by Agentic Index, an independent agentic AI vendor research platform. Cyware and Torq are each graded against the same 14 capability Agentic Index taxonomy, from the vendor's own public materials under the Agentic Index verification standard, alongside 955 researched vendors. No vendor pays for placement and no vendor has reviewed this page. How this evidence is graded
Choose Cyware if
- Intelligence management and sharing networks are core to your work.
- Agents should write detections and map attack flows from your intelligence.
- An open source MCP server fits your tooling.
Choose Torq if
- Model choice, security and testing must be documented in full; Torq is Full on all three.
- You want agentic operations built on a hyperautomation fabric.
- Memory across runs should be documented; Torq is Partial and Cyware None.
