AI adoption in security has soared. But for many teams, manual work and burnout remain stubbornly high. To understand why, and what security teams must do next, we partnered with Sapio research to survey more than 1,800 security leaders and practitioners worldwide for our Voice of Security 2026 report. We wanted to learn how teams are using AI and automation, how the role of security is evolving, and how professionals believe AI will impact their careers. The data is revealing.

Everyone’s chasing a smarter agent. But the model was never what held the SOC back. The sharpest LLM still won’t know your environment, your team’s past calls, or where they draw the line on risk. That lives in the layer beneath the agents: context, memory, and learning. Torq’s AI research team breaks down how we build it.

At Tines, we recently faced a significant engineering challenge: our output_payloads table in PostgreSQL was rapidly approaching 17TB on our largest cloud cluster, with no signs of slowing down. Once a table reaches PostgreSQL’s 32TB table size limit, it will stop accepting writes. This table holds event data, in the form of arbitrary JSON, which is critical to powering Tines workflows. Given the criticality of the data, we couldn’t risk any disruptions to it.

Industry estimates suggest that up to 60% of SOC analyst time is spent on Tier 1 triage, leaving less time for addressing real threats. According to Splunk’s State of Security 2025 report, 59% of security teams report being overwhelmed by too many alerts, and 55% waste precious hours chasing false positives.

$140 million Series D. $1.2 billion valuation. A Nasdaq takeover. Trevor loose in Manhattan. It’s been a week. From Bloomberg breaking the news to our Torq skeleton on screen through Times Square, Torq’s unicorn moment played out across every major business and cybersecurity outlet — and a few NYC sidewalks. But beyond the headlines (and the chaos), the coverage revealed something bigger: the market has officially declared that the AI SOC is the future of security operations.
