Torq AI SOC Platform review: AI agents on top of Hyperautomation

Cyber AI Comparison team · Based on vendor websites, docs and funding announcements, last checked September 2026

What to know

Torq scores 7.10 out of 10 for replacing SOAR, tied third overall with Artemis Security, and tied second among AI SOC platforms. It has the largest published integration catalogue of the AI SOC platforms here (300 integrations, 4,000+ steps) and runs agentic and deterministic workflows in one engine. Existing playbooks are rebuilt rather than translated, and Torq publishes neither pricing nor deployment options beyond cloud.

What is Torq?

Torq's AI SOC Platform (earlier marketed as HyperSOC) combines agentic AI with Hyperautomation, Torq's automation engine, to triage, investigate and respond. Socrates, which Torq calls the quarterback of the agentic SOC, coordinates specialised HyperAgents and manages cases end to end. Torq raised a $70M Series C in September 2024 and a $140M Series D at a $1.2B valuation in January 2026, and acquired Jit in May 2026, according to its press page.

How does Torq handle the alert queue?

Universal Auto Triage prioritises alerts and separates noise from risk. Cases go to HyperAgents that gather evidence, assemble timelines and summarise findings into a case record. Response runs through Hyperautomation workflows, which can be deterministic or agentic. Torq says over 90% of security cases are closed autonomously; that is Torq's figure.

How does Torq AI SOC Platform score?

Investigation depth per alert · 20%
8 / 10
Socrates coordinates specialised HyperAgents that gather evidence, assemble timelines and summarise findings per case.
Explainability of verdicts · 15%
7 / 10
Cases carry evidence, timelines and summaries, and Torq stresses transparency, but step-level agent reasoning is less documented publicly than at the leaders.
Coverage of alert sources · 15%
9 / 10
300 pre-built integrations and 4,000+ pre-built steps, plus AI-generated integrations.
Human-in-the-loop controls · 15%
8 / 10
Positions oversight and control as core, with governance and audit logs on workflows.
Transition effort from an existing SOAR · 15%
8 / 10
Combines agentic and deterministic workflows, with a natural-language workflow builder that suits teams rebuilding playbooks; it is a replacement, so playbooks are rebuilt rather than translated.
Deployment model options · 10%
5 / 10
Described as cloud-native; other deployment options are not described on the pages reviewed.
Pricing transparency · 10%
2 / 10
No public pricing page was found.

Weighted score: 7.10 / 10 (computed from the weights on /method#how-we-score)

Where does Torq AI SOC Platform fall short?

Where it loses

Investigation depth per alert: 8 (leader: Mate Security 9)
Explainability of verdicts: 7 (leader: Mate Security and 7AI 9)
Coverage of alert sources: 9 (leader: Cortex XSOAR 10)
Human-in-the-loop controls: 8 (leader: Mate Security and Artemis Security 9)
Transition effort from an existing SOAR: 8 (leader: Mate Security and Cortex XSOAR 9)
Deployment model options: 5 (leader: Cortex XSOAR and Splunk SOAR and Tines 9)
Pricing transparency: 2 (leader: Dropzone AI and Intezer 5)

No public pricing.
Existing SOAR playbooks are rebuilt in Torq rather than translated; plan the rebuild effort.
Deployment options beyond cloud are not described publicly.

What does moving from SOAR to Torq involve?

Torq is explicit that it replaces SOAR; its blog calls SOAR 'officially obsolete'. The route is a rebuild: describe a workflow in natural language and Torq generates it, drawing on 4,000+ pre-built steps and AI-generated integrations. That makes the rebuild faster than hand-building, but your old playbooks do not carry over as-is. Keep fixed responses as deterministic workflows and move variable alerts to agents.

Strengths

Largest published integration catalogue among the AI SOC platforms here.
Deterministic and agentic workflows in one engine, which suits teams that want to keep some fixed automations.
Well funded, with a large enterprise customer list on its site.

Who should shortlist Torq?

Teams that want one product for both AI investigation and a large no-code automation estate, teams with many tools to connect, and enterprises comfortable with a cloud service. Teams that want their existing playbooks translated, or that need published prices, should compare Mate Security and Dropzone AI.
