He firmly believes AI has the power to revolutionize modern security operations. Just five years ago, the average dwell time for a ransomware attack was seven months. Today, it’s five days and shrinking.

Data is the critical foundation for all organizations, powering innovation, decisions, and growth. It’s also the fastest-growing attack surface, with sensitive information scattered across clouds, on-premise servers, and SaaS platforms. Cyera, the leader in modern data security, provides rich visibility into sensitive data down to its DNA level, providing vital context, identifying data risks and vulnerabilities, and delivering SOC teams a clear map of their data attack surface.

SOAR is dead-dead (too inflexible, too complex, and too limited on integrations) — but it’s not quite buried in some SOCs where it’s only hanging on because migrating can feel daunting when mission-critical workflows are tied to the system. AI-driven Hyperautomation from Torq is the SOAR killer. Our team has helped major enterprises from every industry make the switch, quickly and easily, to achieve true SOC transformation. We chatted with Mark Carosella, Sr.

The 2024 SANS Detection and Response Survey sheds new light on some all-too-familiar security challenges: security operations teams are overwhelmed with alerts, struggling to respond fast enough, and tracking the wrong KPIs. Sure, automation adoption is increasing (64% of organizations now leverage it in some capacity), but most SecOps teams are still operating in slow, reactive, and heavily manual environments.

Banking and financial services companies sit on a goldmine of sensitive customer data, making them a prime target for phishing and ransomware attackers hoping to strike a payout. Even with defenses like MFA and security training, human error continues to be a critical point of failure for financial institutions — a 2024 report found that 3 out of every 1000 individuals working in banking click on a phishing link each month.

Torq took home the top prize at Check Point’s 2025 Innovation Sandbox Competition during their annual CPX conference in Las Vegas. Chris Coburn, Torq’s Sr. Director of Tech Alliances, faced off against 13 other companies to pitch Torq’s AI-native autonomous SOC to a panel of judges and voting audience.

Now that six in ten security leaders view AI as a “game changer” across all security functions and 85% of security professionals report increased AI investment and usage in the past year, it’s clear that AI is no longer a fringe technology in security operations. But the AI conversation has evolved recently as a new buzzword has taken over: agentic AI.

At Torq, our commitment to security has always been at the forefront of our mission to empower businesses through our SaaS platform.
