Torq

Torq is the security automation platform that grew into agentic SOC operations, and the most highly valued company in this lane. Independent, it raised a $140 million Series D in January 2026 at a $1.2 billion valuation. Where the pure AI SOC analysts started with autonomous investigation and are extending toward action, Torq started as security hyperautomation, a modern successor to SOAR, and extended toward autonomy, meeting the same problem from the orchestration side.

The foundation is a workflow automation fabric with an extensive library of prebuilt integrations and steps across security and IT tools, letting teams build no code and low code automations for phishing response, incident response, case management, and employee onboarding. On top of that fabric sits Torq HyperSOC, which applies agentic AI to autonomous case management: AI agents triage, investigate, and drive response while executing the deterministic, auditable workflows the automation layer defines. That combination is the distinctive bet. Pure AI analysts reason freely but act through whatever integrations they carry; Torq pairs agent reasoning with a mature, governed action layer, so an agent's decision executes as a controlled, repeatable workflow rather than an ad hoc API call, which appeals to teams that want autonomy without surrendering deterministic control over what actually runs in their environment.

Torq publishes no pricing; contracts run through enterprise sales and scale with workflow volume and platform scope. The consideration is orientation: buyers wanting a drop in autonomous L1 analyst may find Torq's automation first surface heavier than a purpose built triage tool, while teams that already think in workflows, or want reasoning and deterministic orchestration in one platform, get a depth of action control the analyst first tools do not match.
