Torq, the leader in security hyperautomation, has been recognized by IDC for its ability to automate key security operations activities in modern SecOps. In a new report titled “How Hyperautomation Is Used to Reduce Gaps and Inefficiencies in Network Cybersecurity,” IDC highlights Torq Hyperautomation as a transformative approach that addresses the limitations of legacy SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) systems.
The report emphasizes the need for agility and automation in cybersecurity, as current approaches struggle to keep up with tool sprawl, data overload, and adversaries enhanced by generative AI. Legacy SOAR platforms are described as reactionary and lacking in shift-left security practices. The report states that manual processes are still prevalent in today’s cybersecurity strategies.
In contrast, Torq Hyperautomation, which now includes Torq Socrates, the first Tier-1 analysis AI Agent in cybersecurity, leverages AI to automate key security operations activities such as alert triage, data enrichment, and incident investigation. 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 and false positives.
The report highlights several key advantages of Torq Hyperautomation, including visibility and control of heterogeneous network real estate, proactive assessment of network posture, an event-driven architecture, extensible capabilities using various coding approaches, and a straightforward deployment model that eliminates hidden costs.
Leonid Belkind, CTO and Co-Founder of Torq, expressed pride in the validation provided by IDC and emphasized Torq’s momentum in delivering efficiencies and productivity enhancements for SecOps teams. He described Torq as the antidote to the inadequacies of legacy SOAR systems and the alert fatigue they cause.
