The IT Nerd

Torq, the security hyperautomation leader, today introduced the world’s first enterprise-grade security hyperautomation platform capable of automating the most complex security  infrastructures at dramatic scale. Only Torq provides the ability to automate the entirety of workflows and processes across the entirety of modern enterprise security organizations to deliver best-in-class, end-to-end cybersecurity protection. The platform also offers the world’s first GPT AI-based analytics capability for auto-analyzing cybersecurity incidents, making strategic responses, and informing immediate and long-term defensive measures.

The Torq Hyperautomation Platform enables security professionals to create and deploy complex, sophisticated workflows in minutes, more than 10X faster than legacy SOAR and conventional security automation solutions that also involve costly professional services commitments. Torq customers now rely on the platform for more than 3m daily security automations. RSAC attendees can see the Torq Hyperautomation Platform in action at Booth #4340, South Hall, Moscone Center, San Francisco, April 24-27.

According to Gartner, “Hyperautomation is a business-driven, disciplined approach that organizations use to rapidly identify, vet, and automate as many business and IT processes as possible.” Torq is the only security automation vendor that delivers on this promise. With the Torq Hyperautomation Platform, its customers, spanning the Fortune 500 and the world’s leading cybersecurity vendors, including Wiz, Abnormal Security, Armis, and SentinelOne, are consolidating, managing, and orchestrating the entirety of their cybersecurity stacks. This includes powerful and complex tools driven by artificial intelligence, machine learning, event-driven software architectures, and robotic process automation.

Delivers on the Promise of Hyperautomation AI
Torq is liberating overworked security and IT operations professionals by innovatively deploying the power of AI. The Torq Hyperautomation Platform integrates GPT to dramatically enhance SecOps using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to accurately answer user requests in real-time, which elevates the speed, quality, and accuracy of investigating and resolving security issues.

With GPT integration, Torq uniquely delivers a chatbot interface integrated into Slack, MS Teams, Discord, and Zoom to communicate with security tools and systems. Now, SOC analysts or any authorized operators can use natural language to intuitively search for specific information and insights across multiple security tools and data sources. It simplifies interactions with complex security tools and makes analysts more efficient in threat hunting, investigations, and response. It also auto-escalates self-service requests, notifying SecOps teams when a critical incident requires human intervention.

Drives the Resolution of Contextual Security Cases with Hyperautomation
Torq collects a large number of unprocessed events and signals into contextually-enriched cases, ordered by severity, priority, and field of ownership. It also orchestrates the analysis and remediation of security cases across multiple organizational functions, and tracks all security decisions in a single dynamic framework.

Torq drives the hyperautomation of organizational processes around handling security cases by providing unparalleled flexibility and extensibility for every organizational process involved.

Torq – an Insight Partners backed no-code cybersecurity automation startup that operates across Israel and the US—has unveiled a new capability which will exponentially increase security operations professionals’ ability to easily process bulk data from security tools and shorten workflow automation completion time by 10x or more. This is called Torq Parallel Loop.

This will benefit companies by:

• Reducing risk of security incidents to improve an organization’s overall security posture.
• Improving efficiency to reduce the time it takes to complete a process by allowing multiple tasks to be performed concurrently
• Increasing scalability to keep up with demanding workloads and enhanced flexibility for organizations to fine-tune security processes to meet their unique needs

Here’s a video that describes Parallel Loop in action:
