Torq Named a Leading Innovator in SACR 2026 AI SOC Market Report

Software Analyst Cyber Research (SACR) just published its 2026 AI SOC Market Report, offering an independent assessment of vendors competing in what has rapidly become the most consequential category in enterprise security. Torq features prominently, and the report’s framing is worth unpacking because it illuminates what makes the AI SOC category hard to evaluate and why Torq’s approach is consequential.

Solving the SOC Data Dilemma: Maximising Detection Without Maximising Cost

Today's Security Operations Centres (SOCs) operate under the pressure of data proliferation, high alert volumes, and tight budgets. Most SOC leaders face a data dilemma: they must choose which data to analyse and which to ignore. That choice directly determines threat detection capabilities and impacts the security posture of the business.

Torq SOC Brain: The AI SOC That Learns, Not Just Remembers

Back in June, I wrote a blog making the case that agentic triage alone isn’t an AI SOC. The way I see it, that’s like saying triage is the only responsibility of a SOC team. But as we know, the SOC’s responsibilities extend far beyond that, and these triage-only solutions don’t investigate threats, contain them, or close cases. That work is still left to the SOC team; the bottleneck is just shifting.

Understanding Context Windows in AI-Powered Security Operations

Your security operations team now relies on AI agents to detect threats, triage alerts, and accelerate incident investigation. These agents analyze signals across your environment to identify suspicious behavior that humans might miss, and they respond faster than any manual process could. But they operate under a fundamental constraint that most security teams overlook: context window limitations that directly impact investigation quality and threat visibility.

The 2026 AI SOC Roadmap: Where SOC Teams Are Headed and How to Get There

Every conversation our team has with security leaders begins the same way. Nobody is backing off on AI in the SOC. The direction of the lean is what’s shifting. Torq’s 2026 AI SOC Leadership Report surveyed more than 450 CISOs and SOC leaders. The data confirms what those conversations were already telling me. We’ve left the adoption phase. The market is now in the architecture phase and the implications for how teams plan, buy, and build are significant.

Elevating the SOC Experience: Smarter Automation, Richer Threat Intelligence, and AI-Native Investigation

Security operations teams face a constant balancing act: stopping sophisticated email threats, maintaining visibility across their attack surface and keeping administrative workflows running smoothly. When security tools operate in silos or rely on rigid, manual processes, friction builds up quickly. This friction consumes valuable time that analysts could spend on higher-priority initiatives. At KnowBe4, we believe enterprise security should work for you, without the enterprise-grade costs.

Cyber Threat Intelligence: How to Build a Practical Programme for Your SOC

As cyber dangers get more sophisticated and messy, company SOCs can't simply keep playing defense. An effective IT security strategy today includes hunting malicious agents down before they strike. Modern organizations need a thorough grasp of the tactics, techniques, and procedures used by industry-specific adversaries.
