Organizations face a growing threat from cybercriminals while struggling to find qualified security professionals who can protect their infrastructure and sensitive data. This blog will explore the concept of a Security Operations Center (SOC) and the role of SOC analysts in securing your organization. We will also discuss how your organization can leverage automation to improve SOC effectiveness and fill in the gaps when you cannot support a full staff of security professionals.

A single cloud security incident can stop an enterprise in its tracks, sometimes resulting in irreparable damage to its operation, reputation, and customer loyalty. One key strategy for preventing such incidents is combining complementary cybersecurity tools to defeat threats at scale. A coherent Cyber Security Incident Response Planning (CSIRP) approach requires enterprises to select and integrate the right tools before a security incident occurs.

Security operations professionals are constantly being pushed to the edge of their capacities. They’re dealing with endless manual processes and managing tasks sequentially, because of the limitations of their security tools and options. They’ve dreamed of being able to execute more tasks simultaneously to quickly enrich, analyze, contain, and resolve security threats. Today, Torq is proud to introduce Parallel Execution, which makes those capabilities a reality.

“Automation” and “orchestration” are terms that frequently appear within the same sentence – which is unsurprising, because they are closely related. In fact, they’re so similar in meaning that it can be easy to confuse their meanings or assume that there is basically no real difference between security automation and orchestration. But, as with many concepts in the world of IT and security (“observability” vs.

For its 25th year, Black Hat USA presented a “unique hybrid event experience, offering the cybersecurity community a choice in how they wish to participate” virtually or in person. It was a jam-packed four days of trainings, conferences, briefings, special events, and cybersecurity solutions.

In just three quarters since Torq was officially launched, our visionary team has delivered a 385% increase in customers, resulting in 360% quarter-over-quarter growth. We’ve also boosted our headcount by 150% and now have more than 100 technology integration partners, including Armis, Orca, SentinelOne, and Wiz. In addition, we recently opened new offices in the UK, Spain, and Taiwan

It’s difficult for even the most advanced security teams to stay on top of evolving incursions and ensure their processes effectively map to prevent them. That’s where pre-built templates come into the conversation. No-code, security automation templates can handle the considerable burden of having to maintain and update processes that integrate with a company’s security stack.

When you hear the term “chatbot,” your mind may at first turn to things like robotic customer support services on retail websites – a relatively mundane use case for chatbots, and one that is probably hard to get excited about if you’re a security engineer. But, the fact is that chatbots can do much more than provide customer support.
