8 ways MSSPs gain competitive advantage with the SecOps Cloud Platform

Earlier this year, we introduced the LimaCharlie SecOps Cloud Platform (SCP). The SCP is a unified platform for modern cybersecurity operations. Similar to what the public cloud did for IT, the SCP offers security teams core cybersecurity capabilities and infrastructure: on-demand, pay-per-use, and API-first. In short, the SCP is a new paradigm for cybersecurity. It’s a game-changer for enterprise security teams and cybersecurity solutions builders.

Hyperautomation Is Blowing Up the SOAR Market

It wasn’t long ago that we at Torq proclaimed “SOAR is dead!” And it didn’t take long for the industry to catch on. Leading analyst firm GigaOm in its recent GigaOm Radar report named Torq a leader and an outperformer in the security automation market, namely for our hyperautomation capabilities that legacy SOAR just can’t touch. And our competitors have also started jumping on the hyperautomation bandwagon since we shifted our focus to this model.

Tips for Building a SOC Analyst Home Lab

Do you aspire to become a standout in the SOC world? To excel, you must consistently cultivate both your technical hard skills and non-technical soft skills. No specific career path is the golden ticket; each individual’s journey to SOC stardom is a blend of conventional education and hands-on training, seasoned with vital real-world experience. A purpose-built SOC analyst home lab is one proven self-guided learning tool to sharpen your technical know-how.

Solving the Integration Problem at Scale: How Torq Connects With Any Tool Using Hyperautomation

Setting up your security tools to work together seamlessly is often easier said than done, leading to time-consuming tasks and potential security gaps, especially without the proper tools. You must have both the ability to connect to any product, using APIs, CLIs or proprietary protocols, and do that in a simple no-code manner, without having to know the ins and outs of each technology. Without these, the ability to quickly automate is greatly diminished – as in legacy SOAR products.
