"IDC Cybersecurity Report: Hyperautomation Takes Center Stage as SOAR Era Fades Away"

Torq, the leader in security hyperautomation, has been recognized by IDC for its ability to automate key security operations. In a new report titled “How Hyperautomation Is Used to Reduce Gaps and Inefficiencies in Network Cybersecurity,” IDC highlights Torq Hyperautomation as a solution that can automate everything that should be automated in modern SecOps.

The report emphasizes the shift from legacy SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) towards hyperautomation, which is being rapidly adopted by enterprises worldwide and an increasing number of cybersecurity automation vendors. Legacy SOAR platforms are described as reactionary and lacking the ability to incorporate security measures during application development.

In contrast, Torq Hyperautomation, which now includes Torq Socrates, the first Tier-1 analysis AI Agent in cybersecurity, transforms SecOps by using AI to automate various security operations activities such as alert triage, data enrichment, incident investigation, escalation, and response.

According to IDC, Torq Hyperautomation combines intelligence signals from across enterprise security environments to drive autonomous remediation. It continuously learns and evolves as it analyzes security events, addressing critical challenges faced by security analysts such as alert fatigue, false positives, decreased visibility, and job burnout.

The report highlights several key advantages of Torq Hyperautomation, including visibility and control of network real estate, proactive assessment of network posture, an event-driven architecture that solves alert fatigue issues, extensible capabilities using no code, low code, or full code, and a straightforward deployment model that eliminates hidden costs.

The report concludes that Torq Hyperautomation offers a more comprehensive approach than contemporary cybersecurity tooling. It emphasizes the need for agility and automation in cybersecurity to address the challenges posed by a dissolving perimeter.
