**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™**](/content/hypersoc/index.html) **— 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™](/content/hyperautomation/index.html) 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_](/content/resources/idc-report-machine-speed-detection-response/index.html)

A lot has changed since HyperSOC was first released, but [SOC challenges](/content/blog/sans-survey-security-challenges/index.html) 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](/content/blog/ai-soc/index.html) 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](/content/news/hypersoc2o/index.html) — 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...”
