Overview
Torq, an Israeli-founded cybersecurity company, has made headlines by acquiring the stealth-mode startup Revrod for over $20 million. This strategic move aims to enhance Torq's capabilities in AI-driven security operations.
Major Funding and Growth
In 2024 alone, Torq has successfully raised $112 million, including a significant $70 million Series C round led by Evolution Equity Partners in September, and an additional $42 million extension to its Series B in January. Since its inception in 2020, the company has raised a total of $192 million. This impressive funding journey is led by a team formerly involved with Luminate Security, which was sold to Symantec for $250 million in 2019.
HyperSOC 2o: The Next Big Thing
Torq's latest product, HyperSOC 2o, integrates Revrod’s advanced technology to deliver what it claims is the industry's most sophisticated AI-powered Security Operations Center automation. This platform features multiple autonomous agents that handle investigation, case management, runbook execution, and remediation, ultimately aiming to reduce incident response times and increase SOC efficiency without the need for additional personnel. Early users report a 90% reduction in investigation times and a 3-5x improvement in alert throughput.
Revrod's Innovative Background
Founded by Eliya Elon and Noam Cohen, Revrod remained under the radar until its acquisition. Despite its stealth status, the startup gained recognition in the AI community for its innovative agentic architectures and workflow models. Backed by Notable Capital and Hetz Ventures, Revrod had raised $6 million prior to the acquisition. The team of 15 employees will join Torq to further develop its AI roadmap.
CEO Insights
Ofer Smadari, CEO and co-founder of Torq, expressed confidence about the acquisition, stating, “With this acquisition, and based on enterprise customer feedback, we’re confident Torq is 1.5 years ahead of our competition in delivering true autonomy for security operations. Revrod’s technology fundamentally changes what’s possible in a SOC, equipping our customers to operate faster and smarter than ever before.”
