Torq unveils Agentic Builder to automate security workflows from natural language intent. Security hyperautomation platform company Torq Ltd. today unveiled Agentic Builder, a new addition to its AI SOC platform that lets security teams describe what they want in plain language and then automatically plans, builds, tests and deploys production-ready security workflows and artificial intelligence agents. Agentic Builder is designed to allow security operation centers to shift the cognitive load of engineering security automation from humans to machines. Torq pitches the release as the "Cursor of security operations," in a reference to the popular code generation service. It claims Cursor-level capabilities that eliminate barriers to deliver production-grade agentic workflows. It also says AI agents manage unlimited alerts 24/7, integrate with every level of the enterprise stack, streamline investigation and respond at machine speed. Agentic Builder starts with a simple premise: Security professionals describe the outcome they want in natural language and the platform translates that intent into a structured, executable plan. The offering accounts for anticipated security events while incorporating semantic memory, business context, organizational policies and the appropriate tools required to carry out the task. The system's agentic AI engine controls the planning phase and draws on prior workflows to determine the optimal approach, including selecting the necessary integrations, defining parameters and guardrails, building the orchestration logic and ultimately generating custom Torq AI agents designed to execute the requested outcome. The process includes a comprehensive validation stage powered by Torq Socrates. The platform tests each agent against real-world data, walking through step-by-step actions and outputs while previewing results such as emails, case records and user interface elements. Doing so allows teams to refine behavior and ensure alignment with internal standards before deployment. Once deployed, the system continues to operate in a closed loop. Torq Socrates monitors agent performance in production and automatically adjusting workflows to improve resilience and efficiency, while adapting to changing conditions to ensure that security operations remain continuously optimized without manual intervention. "After successfully delivering AI capabilities that have freed SOC analysts from overwhelming alerts, false positives and fatigue, Torq now liberates SecOps engineers and architects from the manual tedium that delays value realization," said co-founder and Chief Executive Ofer Smadari. "It eliminates the historic tradeoff between speed and control by enabling teams to design and operationalize sophisticated AI-driven security workflows through specific intent. What once took months of engineering and endless maintenance can now be realized in minutes, with built-in validation, governance, and continuous learning." Torq will be demonstrating Agentic Builder at the RSAC conference in San Francisco March 23-26. The new Agentic Builder release comes after Torq raised $140 million in new funding on a $1.2 billion valuation in January. The Series D round was led by Merlin Ventures Ltd., with Evolution Equity Partners, Notable Capital LP, Bessemer Venture Partners, Insight Partners and Greenfield Partners also participating.

Torq raises $140 million for agentic ai-powered cybersecurity platform. Torq raised $140 million in a Series D funding round to accelerate the adoption of its security operations center (SOC) platform for global enterprises and government agencies. The Torq AI SOC Platform uses artificial intelligence agents to manage security tasks, the company said in a Sunday (Jan. 11) press release. Torq's latest funding round brings its total funding to $332 million, lifts its valuation to $1.2 billion, and provides it with support from cybersecurity fund Merlin Ventures, which led the round and can provide access to commercial and public sector markets in the United States, according to the release. "We have achieved tremendous revenue growth, with Fortune 100 customers adopting our AI agents in their SOCs for everything from investigation to response," Torq CEO and co-founder Ofer Smadari said in the release. "Our partnership with Merlin Ventures is the definitive signal that Torq is now ready to scale this massive customer success into the high-stakes federal and public sector markets." The Torq AI SOC Platform detects and responds to security events at scale, according to the release. Its key features include AI agents that immediately triage low-fidelity alerts, allowing human analysts to focus on verified, high-impact threats, and a self-service agentic platform that enables customers to build their own agents with minimal effort, the release said. Merlin Ventures Managing Partner Shay Michel said in the release that Torq is redefining security operations by fusing automation and human judgment in a platform built for asymmetrical threats and real-world scale. "This is why Merlin is leading the investment," Michel said. "Our focus now is speed - accelerating go-to-market, expanding across commercial and government markets, and building the next global category leader in AI security operations." Torq raised $70 million in Series C funding in September 2024, saying it aimed to expand its AI-first cybersecurity hyperautomation solutions. PYMNTS reported in July that a new generation of agentic AI-powered cybersecurity tools is emerging and providing threat prevention platforms that don't wait for alerts but seek out weak points in code, configurations or behavior and take defensive action automatically. The PYMNTS Intelligence report "COOs Leverage Gen AI to Reduce Data Security Losses" found that 55% of chief operating officers use generative AI to improve data security.
