“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.

“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.
