About Torq
Torq is a security automation company founded in 2020 by Ofer Smadari, Leonid Belkind, and Eldad Livni. The company is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with additional offices in Tel Aviv, Israel. Torq builds a security operations platform designed to automate and orchestrate workflows across an organization's existing security tools and infrastructure.
The company's core product, the Torq platform, provides no-code and low-code automation for security operations centers (SOCs), enabling teams to build workflows that connect disparate security tools for threat detection, investigation, and response. Torq has more recently marketed its platform around agentic security operations, combining automation with AI-driven decision-making to reduce manual triage work for security analysts. Its customer base includes enterprise security teams across industries such as financial services, technology, and retail.
Torq has raised funding from investors including Insight Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Notable Capital (formerly GGV Capital). The company has completed multiple funding rounds since its founding, including a Series C round, and has grown its headcount into the hundreds of employees across its U.S. and Israel offices.

Competitive Landscape
Who Torq competes with, and how they differ.
The closest pure-play rival in no-code security hyperautomation, targeting the same SOC-workflow-building use case as Torq but without Torq's newer agentic AI investigation layer (SOC Brain, AI SOC Context Graph).
Sells security automation as Cortex XSOAR, bundled into its broader platform rather than sold standalone, and mainly serves enterprises already committed to the Palo Alto stack rather than platform-agnostic SOC teams.

Splunk SOAR (formerly Phantom) is the legacy playbook-based automation incumbent, now maintained under Cisco ownership since its 2024 acquisition, with less investment in agentic/AI-native workflows than Torq's platform.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewed
Automation (Falcon Fusion) is bundled into its endpoint/XDR platform rather than sold as a standalone hyperautomation layer, competing for the same SOC budget but requiring CrowdStrike telemetry as the primary data source.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewed
Pushes autonomous SOC capability from the endpoint-detection side inward via its Purple AI/Singularity platform, the reverse of Torq's automation-out approach; SentinelOne was also an investor in Torq's 2021 Series B.
