Torq

About

Torq's journey began in 2020, founded by cybersecurity veterans Ofer Smadari, Leonid Belkind, and Eldad Livni. Recognizing a critical need in the modern cybersecurity landscape, they set out to address the inefficiencies of manual threat detection and remediation. What started as a vision to empower security teams has evolved into Torq leading the way in hyperautomation – the ability to rapidly identify, vet, integrate, and automate as many business and IT processes as possible. The founders, who previously were behind Luminate, engineered Torq as the security industry's first enterprise-grade hyperautomation platform capable of automating the most complex security infrastructures at a dramatic scale. This was born out of their experiences running global-scale networks and cloud-native security services, leading them to build Torq based on industry-leading security best practices and standards. The company quickly gained traction, driven by a people-centric culture and a dynamic, motivated team focused on helping customers maximize their security postures. Torq's platform was designed to deliver results in minutes, a stark contrast to the lengthy deployment times of legacy SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) solutions. This focus on speed and efficiency resonated with the market, leading to significant growth. By 2023, Torq had achieved 300% revenue growth and a 500% increase in customers, securing a total of $120 million in funding. This momentum continued, with the company reporting 300% revenue growth and 200% employee growth in early 2025, alongside a Series C funding round that brought total funding to $192 million. Torq's innovative approach and rapid expansion earned it recognition, including being named one of Forbes' Best Startup Employers in America and a Business Insider 'startup to bet your career on'. With global cross-functional teams and headquarters in both the US and Israel, Torq continues its mission to hyperautomate organizations across the planet, transforming cybersecurity with its agentic AI security operations solutions.
