Automation

Integrations

Integrations are the backbone of Torq, and serve multiple roles. Put simply, an integration is a connection to an external service that's used to interact with data as part of an automated workflow. Before you can start building workflows, you need to create integrations for the applications you want to use in your workflows.

Workflows

Workflows are the automations you'll be creating in Torq. Each workflow contains a trigger and steps. The Torq platform is built with a workflow-first architecture. This means that the components are all designed to enable you to easily create, test, and manage your workflows. For the workflow construction, you’ll be using steps (building blocks) and integrations with other services.

Jason Chan on How Torq Overcomes Cybersecurity's Biggest Challenges

Jason Chan is one of the world’s foremost cybersecurity authorities and we’re extremely proud to have him as a member of the Torq Advisory Board. He’s a pivotal figure in driving adoption of security automation best practices at many companies, including Netflix, where he led the information security organization.

Compliance is a great starting point for security; it's not the final destination

Compliance is a fundamental baseline for many organizations but doesn’t guarantee security. While there is some overlap, today’s security leaders must recognize the need to go beyond what compliance frameworks call for to achieve an extra layer of protection and peace of mind against potentially devastating breaches. Compliance may set the foundation, but it should never be viewed as providing total protection or proof of a robust security posture.

The What, Why and How of Auto-Remediation in Cybersecurity

When you’re facing a cyberattack, waiting even just minutes to respond could be the difference between business as usual and a calamity. It may only take that long for threat actors to exfiltrate sensitive data or disrupt critical systems. That’s one reason why automating remediation is an essential ingredient in an effective cybersecurity strategy.

Looking under the hood at ROI calculations for Security Automation

Threat actors continue to work faster and show greater sophistication in their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Meanwhile, organizations struggle to keep pace because they are strapped by the persistent shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals which, exacerbated by the pandemic, grew by 26.2% over the past year.

Torq Users Hit 1,000,000+ Daily Security Automations

Today, Torq announced its users are executing more than 1,000,000 daily security automations using our security automation platform – a major milestone that underlines the traction and importance of unifying today’s complex security stacks.

Understanding alert overload part 2: How no-code automation can transform your security team

In a previous post, we discussed how alert overload can cripple security teams and prevent them from effectively detecting and responding to threats. In this post, we explore how no-code automation can help reduce the burden of alerts while providing the visibility and connectivity your organization requires. It's critical to have robust security solutions that not only help you detect but also block serious attacks before they cause any damage.
