The rise of Non-Human Identities (NHIs) — think APIs, bots, service accounts, and machine identities — has expanded the attack surface in ways we’re only beginning to understand. NHIs now outnumber human identities in enterprise environments, often by a staggering ratio. While they streamline processes, enable scalability, and facilitate automation, these identities also present significant security risks.

This month, we’ve continued to expand Torq’s offerings. Discover the new workflow templates, intelligent integrations, and utility steps — all meticulously crafted to streamline security operations and amplify your team’s impact.

Torq is thrilled to have Patrick Orzechowski (also known as “PO”) on board as our new Field CISO, bringing his expertise and years of experience as a SOC leader to our customers.

This sentiment expressed by Fiverr’s VP of Business Technologies perfectly reflected the energy at the Fal.Con 2024 Torq booth and struck a chord with security teams using CrowdStrike’s powerful tools. Detection isn’t the problem — CrowdStrike excels at that. The challenge lies in automating what happens next.

Gal Peretz is Head of AI & Data at Torq. Gal accelerates Torq’s AI and data initiatives, applying his deep learning and natural language processing expertise to advance AI-powered security automation. He also co-hosts the LangTalks podcast, which discusses the latest AI and LLM technologies. To stay ahead of today’s threats, you must do more than keep pace — you need to equip your team with tools that enable smarter, faster responses.

Data interoperability is the backbone of building reliable and efficient hyperautomated workflows. However, manipulating and formatting massive amounts of data from various sources — especially in complex JSON files — can feel overwhelming and consume significant time and resources, particularly for those still gaining technical expertise. Teams often lack or have maxed out dedicated resources to wrangle this data.

As we close out 2024, Torq is rolling out powerful new updates to help security teams start the new year with even greater efficiency and impact. These recent enhancements are designed to streamline operations, boost productivity, and support seamless collaboration. Here’s a look at the latest features set to transform your security operations.
