IDC, Gartner, and Cyber Research Analyst Francis Odum validate Torq HyperSOC-2o for establishing the important building blocks for achieving the autonomous SOC.

WTF is HyperSOC-2o?

HyperSOC-2o is the latest release of Torq HyperSOC™ — our most autonomous model to date and the first truly agentic SecOps platform.

Torq HyperSOC™ was first released in April 2024 as a purpose-built solution that harnesses the power of the AI-driven Torq Hyperautomation™ platform to automate, manage, and monitor critical SOC responses at machine speed.

“Every day, IDC is engaged with SOC professionals who communicate the existential challenges they’re facing... Torq HyperSOC is the first solution we’ve seen that effectively enables SOC professionals to mitigate issues including alert fatigue, false positives, staff burnout, and attrition.”
Chris Kissel, Vice President, Security & Trust Products, IDC Research, Achieving Machine Speed Detection and Response

A lot has changed since HyperSOC was first released, but SOC challenges remain the same. In a recent Emerging Techscape for Detection and Response Startups report, Gartner notes that...

The Need for the Autonomous SOC

SOCs have been using AI, machine learning (ML), and large language models (LLMs) to collect information, assess risk, and prioritize alerts for some time now. An AI-influenced SOC still relies on human analysts to guide remediation actions. AI-driven triaged alerts can create more manual tasks for analysts.

Moving from the Aspirational to the Inspirational in SOC Processes

Agentic AI can solve problems and make decisions in real time without constant human supervision. The IDC report states that...

“ By 2026, AI will increase SOC efficiency by 40% compared with 2024 efficiency...”

Key Outcomes with Agentic AI

• Agentic AI becomes the mastermind of every incident: AI agents handle over 95% of manual case triage and investigation.
• Embedded compliance and governance in decision-making: Agentic AI records the logic behind its decisions.
• Actionable and proactive cybersecurity posture: Leveraging learned experience improves future responses.

HyperSOC-2o: Achieving the Autonomous SOC

Last week Torq announced HyperSOC-2o — the world’s first truly autonomous SOC.

This version incorporates cutting-edge Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) technology, allowing AI Agents to reference extensive data and produce highly contextual outputs.

Roles of AI Micro-Agents

• Runbook Agent: Plans customized threat investigations based on past outcomes.
• Investigation Agent: Uncovers hidden attack patterns through data analysis.
• Remediation Agent: Automates actions across the security stack for efficient responses.
• Case Management Agent: Provides access to real-time and historical data for better threat identification.

“Torq HyperSOC makes the potential of AI in a SOC attainable and sustainable...”
