Companies need to measure performance in all areas of operations to check whether they are proving cost-effective and achieving the desired results. One of the best ways for security managers to demonstrate that their security operations program is aligned with business objectives is to use metrics that demonstrate efficiency and effectiveness.

As cybercrime continues to grow and organizations digitize, understanding cybersecurity and how to improve one’s security posture becomes paramount. Unfortunately, the firewall has dissolved and tools alone, though helpful, can’t protect environments when public sector organizations are understaffed, underfunded, and struggling to maintain compliance.

Cybercrime is on the rise. This trillion-dollar industry is only gaining momentum with ransomware and business email compromise attacks, and recent trends show that the odds of becoming a breach victim are about 50%. Not to mention that the skills shortage gap continues to plague organizations, with many stating they would need five or more employees to fill it.

Modern SOCs are highly specialized security operations centers whose objective is to detect attackers who have gained access to an organization's device or network. Built around complex environments, a team of cybersecurity experts who have been assigned different roles coordinate operations at SOCs.

Torq further accelerates growth and global expansion with world-class hires as broader tech sector struggles with revenue declines and layoffs New York, NY, February 13, 2023—Torq, the security automation leader, today announced the addition of new Senior Vice-President of Worldwide Sales Josh Morris and Chief Marketing Officer Don Jeter to its executive team.

Torq is proud to introduce Parallel Loop, a new capability that enables users to process bulk data from myriad security tools with unprecedented ease. It also provides the power of orchestration like no other automation tool in the security automation industry with true parallelism. That means multiple tasks can be run simultaneously, and optionally, on multiple elastically-scaled compute resources, shortening the time workflow automations take to complete by 10x or more.

I love automation. Seriously, what could be more satisfying than tricking a machine into doing all the things you don’t want to do using only the power of your mind? Paying bills, brewing coffee, making appointments, ordering food… it’s like being Tom Sawyer without all the manipulation and questionable ethical choices.

Torq, the security automation leader, today announced 800% revenue growth and 10X customer growth in its second year of operation in 2022, and hitting the milestone of 1,000,000+ daily security automations. Torq also announced the Torq Advisory Board featuring global cybersecurity visionaries, and the appointment of Paulo Veloso, Vice President of Sales, Americas. Recently, Torq has also released critical industry-leading capabilities with the introduction of Parallel Execution and Torq Insights.

It’s been splashed across headlines and popped up in social media statuses — organizations are evaluating budgets and laying off staff. These layoffs, which have hit departments like marketing and IT across a variety of industries, are more than anecdotal. Our global survey, which took responses from 920 decision makers at enterprises with more than 1,000 employees showed that there is a major shift happening in internal spending and hiring.

Every IT environment – whether it’s on-prem or in the cloud, and regardless of how it’s designed or what runs in it – is made up of endpoints. That’s why Endpoint Detection and Response, or EDR, has typically been one of the pillars of cybersecurity. EDR helps businesses monitor each of their endpoints for security risks so that they can detect problems before they escalate to other endpoints.
