“We’re seeing extraordinary enterprise demand for Torq’s Agentic AI security solutions across EMEA,” said Gulfaraz. “Organizations understand the incredible results Torq is delivering for multinational companies. They’ve seen how our technology transformed the cybersecurity landscape during 2024, with the introduction of the expanded Torq HyperSOC featuring our Agentic AI Multi-Agent Framework. And now they’re eager to deploy these solutions to enhance their own security operations. Torq officially brought the SOAR era to a close last year. In 2025, the sky’s the limit for Torq as it continues to rapidly evolve into a global force.”

“Today, Torq HyperSOC investigates, triages, and remediates many of Check Point’s internal security alerts without any human intervention,” said Jonathan Fischbein CISO, Check Point. “If an alert meets certain parameters based on organizational security policies, the platform takes relevant predefined steps, such as initiating an MFA challenge or locking out a suspicious user. We can react automatically to problems before they become security incidents.”

Torq’s ever-expanding EMEA partner base includes AdvanceSec, Bytes Software Services, Check Point, GlobalDots, Nubera, Nueva Group, Softcat, Tata Group, Wiz, and WWT.

“We are thrilled to partner with Torq and continue to deliver innovation that matters to our customers,” said Adam McCaig, Head of Security Strategy and Services, Bytes Software Services. “Demand for Torq’s game-changing Hyperautomation Platform and Torq HyperSOC continues expanding exponentially. Together, Torq and Bytes Software Services are making enterprise SecOps teams across EMEA more productive and focused with their AI-driven SecOps and autonomous SOC solutions, ensuring organizations can mitigate existential security issues before they have a chance of creating adverse impacts.”
