The SOC Analyst Shortage Is Over
The cybersecurity industry has a well-known staffing crisis: there are roughly 3.5 million unfilled security positions globally, and security operations centers (SOCs) are drowning in alerts. Torq's answer: let AI handle the noise.
Founded in 2020 by cybersecurity veterans Ofer Smadari, Eldad Livni, and Leonid Belkind, Torq has built a hyperautomation platform that includes Socrates, an AI SOC Analyst capable of autonomously managing 90% of Tier-1 security tickets. It triages alerts, investigates potential threats, correlates data across tools, and takes response actions — all without human intervention.
The Platform Play
Beyond Socrates, Torq offers a no-code/low-code platform for building custom security workflows, and HyperSOC 2o — the industry's first AI SOC featuring a multi-agent system with native MCP support. Their recent acquisition of Jit.io adds AI-driven context graphs to inform security investigations, making the entire platform even smarter.
