Today, cybersecurity companies are in a never-ending race against cyber criminals, each seeking innovative new tactics to outpace the other. The newfound accessibility of generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) has revolutionized how people work, but it's also made threat actors more efficient. Attackers can now quickly create phishing messages or automate vulnerability discoveries.

As organizations across the globe grapple with the growing issue of cyber attacks — 2023 cybercrime costs are expected to hit $8 trillion — organizations are realizing that more than technical tools are needed to stay ahead of mounting threats. Even one mistake by an untrained employee can have serious consequences and result in a data breach.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has generated significant hype in recent years, and separating the promise from reality can be challenging. However, at Torq, AI is not just a concept. It is a reality that is revolutionizing the SOC field, specifically in the area of Tier-1 security analysis, especially as cybercriminals become more sophisticated in their tactics and techniques. Traditional security tools continue to fall short in detecting and mitigating these attacks effectively, particularly at scale.

As more employees move to remote work, more of today’s business environment is shifting towards the cloud. Indeed, approximately 90% of companies use at least one cloud-based service. While it brings great benefits, the cloud also brings challenges, including properly securing cloud-based assets. Cybercriminals are well-versed in corporate cloud usage and are successfully exploiting that knowledge. In the past year and a half, nearly 80% of companies suffered a cloud-based data breach.

SOAR was never built for hybrid cloud adoption at enterprise scale. SOAR’s complexity, critical operational holes, and technical limitation, make the fatal flaw sinking your organization’s ship. If you’re still using outdated Legacy SOAR, it’s time to make the switch TODAY. Here are the 8 key benefits of using hyperautomation.

The current model of the security operations center (SOC) is in need of change. In this post, we’ll discuss why that is the case, what changes are needed, and how a new approach—the SecOps Cloud Platform—can solve challenges for security teams and organizations.
