The extended Q+A: continuing the AI agents conversation

Last week, we hosted the Product Spotlight: Build agents in Tines, and it was a hit. We had so many questions that we couldn’t answer them all live, so we’re continuing the conversation here. Before we jump into the Q+A, here’s a quick recap of the webinar in case you missed it: In this session, Head of Product Stephen O'Brien introduced the AI Agent action and shared how it builds on our ongoing evolution of workflows.

Security Operations Center Best Practices to Boost Security & Automate Smarter

Patrick Orzechowski (also known as “PO”) is Torq’s Field CISO, bringing his years of experience and expertise as a SOC leader to our customers. PO is a seasoned security veteran with a deep understanding of the modern security landscape. You can find him talking to SOC leaders and CISOs from major brands at cybersecurity events around the world. Running a SOC isn’t for the faint of heart. I should know.

MTTD vs. MTTR: Definition, Differences, & Why They Matter

When a cyberattack occurs, every second counts. Metrics like Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) are critical benchmarks in cybersecurity, helping organizations evaluate the effectiveness of their Security Operations Centers (SOCs). But what’s the difference between MTTD vs MTTR, and why do they matter?

How Smart Automation is Reshaping Finance Operations

Finance departments are undergoing a dramatic transformation. Tasks that once took hours are now completed in minutes, as manual workflows give way to streamlined digital systems. It's not just about speed, it's about redefining how finance teams operate at every level.

How AI is Redefining SOC Architecture

If you’ve been in cybersecurity longer than five minutes, you know one thing: legacy SOC architecture isn’t just showing its age — it’s creaking under the weight of today’s threats. Cybersecurity analyst Francis Odum nailed it when presenting at Torq’s SKO 2025: “Legacy SOAR assumed everything starts in the SIEM. Now, teams connect automation directly to EDR, email, and identity systems.”.

Data is the key to building modern AI workflows

In this guest post, Eric Newcomer, Principal Analyst at Intellyx, explains why data is essential for building and running effective AI workflows. In the current phase of AI transformation, everyone is discovering many applications for gen AI, especially chats with LLM trained data, public as well as private. One interesting application of AI is building modern workflows to automate operational processes.

Tired of Security Alert Fatigue? Stop Burnout with Hyperautomation

Every day, analysts are buried under a mountain of low-value and often meaningless alerts. And they’re expected to triage, investigate, prioritize, and respond to all of them — faster, better, and with fewer people. With this comes cybersecurity alert fatigue, which can lead to missed threats, slower response times, and SOC analyst burnout. The good news is that SOC analysts don’t have to live like this anymore. Not if you have the right kind of AI working for you.

Product spotlight: Build agents in Tines

AI agents are here, and they’re changing the way teams build, run, and scale their workflows. Join us for a walkthrough of our newest product: the AI Agent action type. Hosted by Tines Head of Product, Stephen O’Brien, this session will introduce a new way to bring AI into your workflows, without giving up control, visibility, or security. Tune in to learn how you can now: Whether you're building workflows for IT, security, or any operational function, this new action type gives you the power to scale AI orchestration across your organization – without the black box.

ChatOps fatigue: how to create alerts that matter

In today's workplace, communication tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams are essential for staying connected at work. However, as orchestration and automation needs increase, so does the volume of notifications flooding these channels. What’s meant to streamline work can quickly become overwhelming. We call it "ChatOps fatigue" - when teams get so many alerts, they start tuning them out.

Automating Your Laravel Deployment with GitHub Actions

Deploying a Laravel application can be a repetitive task; however, with the advent of GitHub Actions, developers now have the opportunity to automate this process, thereby reducing the potential for human error and accelerating the deployment cycle. Laravel GitHub Actions enables the execution of workflows based on specified events within a repository, such as a "commit or pull" request. For Laravel developers, this translates into a streamlined and more efficient development pipeline. Understanding how to leverage this tool can significantly impact your productivity and the reliability of your application deployments.
