Torq SOC Brain: The AI SOC That Learns, Not Just Remembers

Back in June, I wrote a blog making the case that agentic triage alone isn’t an AI SOC. The way I see it, that’s like saying triage is the only responsibility of a SOC team. But as we know, the SOC’s responsibilities extend far beyond that, and these triage-only solutions don’t investigate threats, contain them, or close cases. That work is still left to the SOC team; the bottleneck is just shifting.

Introducing Tines 3B

Your teams are moving fast with AI — but is IT and Security able to see what's actually being built? IT and AI leaders are facing a career-defining challenge right now: AI-generated code and shadow AI spreading faster than anyone can track. Introducing Tines 3B — a single, secure environment that gives employees the freedom to build with AI, and gives IT and security the control to govern that work safely.

Making Tines 3B

Description: Tines 3B is an AI-native environment that gives every team the power to build agents, apps, and automations with AI, and gives IT and security the control to govern that work safely across the business. Here, Eoin Hinchy (Co-founder and CEO), Stephen O'Brien (Head of Product), Eoghan Reid (Lead Product Designer), and Rosie Ellison (Product Manager) share the story behind building Tines 3B, and the mission driving it: making automation 100x simpler and 100x faster, without compromising on AI governance or control.

Why Most Automation Projects Stall Before They Reach ROI

Automation has a credibility problem hiding behind its success stories. For every celebrated deployment, there's a quieter statistic: analysts and consultancies have repeatedly found that a large share of automation initiatives - by some estimates a third to half of early RPA programs - fail to scale or deliver their expected return. The technology usually works; the project is what breaks.

The 2026 AI SOC Roadmap: Where SOC Teams Are Headed and How to Get There

Every conversation our team has with security leaders begins the same way. Nobody is backing off on AI in the SOC. The direction of the lean is what’s shifting. Torq’s 2026 AI SOC Leadership Report surveyed more than 450 CISOs and SOC leaders. The data confirms what those conversations were already telling me. We’ve left the adoption phase. The market is now in the architecture phase and the implications for how teams plan, buy, and build are significant.

Memos and sandboxes won't solve your wild code problem

When the IT specialist at a company of 20 to 30 people left, the responsibility landed with an employee who had little technical experience. “I’m not really an IT person,” they wrote on Reddit. “I have zero coding skills.” Yet over a single weekend, they vibe-coded an entire IT support system from scratch, in an effort to streamline a process they found cumbersome. Until then, employees had submitted tickets through a Google Form, which sent their answers to a spreadsheet.

Automate Okta and Office 365 user provisioning with approval in Tines Stories

Automate user account provisioning for Okta and Office 365, with a built-in approval step. In this five-minute flow, you'll see how Tines handles the full lifecycle of a new user access request: from a self-service form submission, through a Slack-based approval, all the way to account creation in Okta or Microsoft Entra ID (Office 365). No more manual back-and-forth between IT, system owners, and new starters.

Building AI agents in Tines Stories: tips and tricks for advanced builders

This is the second in a two-part series on AI agents in Tines Stories. Part one covers the foundations: when to use agents, how to configure them, how to write prompts that work, and how to build securely. This post goes deeper on the patterns that separate robust, well-built agents from just good enough ones.

Building AI agents in Tines Stories: tips and tricks for getting started

AI agents are powerful, but they're not magic. Left unconstrained, they'll burn through credits, hallucinate confidently, and make decisions you can't explain to your team. The fix isn't a smarter model, it's a smarter workflow. This guide focuses on the foundations of building an agent: when to use agents, how to configure them, how to write prompts that work, and how to build securely from day one.

The $50K per hour network downtime dilemma

Networking and network security stakes are high. Like really high. Infrastructure downtime costs teams at minimum $50,000 per hour, according to Business Wire. So what’s standing in the way of a faster, more coordinated response? Join Netskope and Tines for a live conversation on how you can move from reactive networking and network security operations to proactive response. Learn how to bridge the gap between detection and resolution across modern hybrid environments, improving reliability, accelerating response times, and reducing the manual work that slows teams down.
