SOAR is dead. At first glance, that might be a bold statement, but the writing’s on the wall. While SOAR may have been a thing in the past, it’s not built for hybrid cloud adoption at enterprise scale. Cue, Torq Hyperautomation. Here are 5 reasons why SOAR is dead.

Torq has been hand selected as a Wiz Integration (WIN) launch partner, bringing the power of Torq Hyperautomation to WIN, so that our joint customers can continue to seamlessly integrate Wiz into their workflows, empowering them to automate their response. WIN enables Torq to deliver actionable remediation and response to threats with a full audit trail of automated security actions.

The evolution of cybersecurity tools is nothing short of remarkable, but I suppose they had to be when it isn’t just the Morris Worm you’re worried about. There has been a wave of buzz around the latest technology in years gone by. EDR evolved into MDR, then SASE, and in recent times we’ve seen Immutable Backup take the front seat.

No matter the industry, geography, or organizational size, cybersecurity teams are united by their many shared challenges: talent shortages, expanding attack surfaces driven by digitization and remote work, increasing velocity of software development, and the rapidly growing scope and sophistication of global cybercrime. In response, these teams have embraced and incorporated a range of specialized tools within their defensive arsenal in attempt to address and resolve these issues.

As businesses continue to evolve, automation has become an essential aspect of modern operations. The benefits of automation are numerous, ranging from reducing operational costs to increasing security, efficiency, and accuracy. However, with so many automation solutions available on the market, it can be challenging to select the right one for your business.

Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) have the potential to be used as tools for cybersecurity attacks, but they are not necessarily a new cybersecurity threat in themselves. Let’s have a look at the hype vs. the reality. The use of generative AI and LLMs in cybersecurity attacks is not new. Malicious actors have long used technology to create convincing scams and attacks.

For years, efficient Case Management has been one of the single most challenging tasks for security operations professionals. It involves ensuring all threats are proactively identified and prioritized based on risk criticality, and then rapidly investigated and appropriately elevated across all organizational cybersecurity platforms and tools. Optimally, it sets up a near-bulletproof incident response posture that makes the most of an organization’s cybersecurity ecosystem.

When you say, “SOAR is Dead,” you’ll get some attention, and that’s exactly what happened at RSAC 2023. But it wasn’t just a statement that created the buzz.

Threat hunting is the process of proactively searching for hidden threats in an organization’s environment – a critical modern cybersecurity activity. However, relying on manual threat hunting alone can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.

Today, Torq transformed security automation forever with the debut of the world’s first enterprise-grade security hyperautomation platform. Why does that matter? I’ll let Gartner explain. It says “Hyperautomation is a business-driven, disciplined approach that organizations use to rapidly identify, vet, and automate as many business and IT processes as possible.” Simply put, it’s the future of security automation, and we’re delivering on its promise, today.
