Torq builds an agentic AI security operations platform that automates the full SOC lifecycle: alert triage, case management, threat investigation, and automated response. Its Torq HyperAgents and proprietary Context Graph ground AI decisions in real environmental context to reduce alert fatigue and accelerate incident response across hundreds of integrated security tools. Founded in 2020 by Ofer Smadari (CEO), Leonid Belkind (CTO), and Eldad Livni (CINO), the company serves enterprises including Blackstone, Marriott, PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, Siemens, T-Mobile, and Uber. In January 2026 Torq closed a $140M Series D led by Merlin Ventures at a $1.2B valuation, reaching $332M in total funding, with participation from Evolution Equity Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners, Insight Partners, Notable Capital, and Greenfield Partners.
