Torq Ltd., an innovative platform specializing in security hyperautomation, has announced a successful Series D funding round, raising $140 million. This latest funding boosts the company’s valuation to $1.2 billion and is aimed at accelerating the adoption of its artificial intelligence-driven security operations platform, as well as expanding its go-to-market efforts.
Revolutionizing Security Operations
Founded in 2020, Torq has developed a no-code security hyperautomation platform designed to help organizations streamline and scale their security operations. The platform integrates seamlessly with existing security systems, such as event management tools, endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions, identity platforms, firewalls, and collaboration tools. This allows teams to build automated processes across their security stack without requiring any coding expertise.
What sets Torq apart is its agentless, integration-first approach. By orchestrating actions across various security systems, the platform eliminates the need for manual, siloed interactions, enabling coordinated workflows with greater efficiency.
Torq’s platform pairs traditional workflow automation with cutting-edge AI-driven decision-making. Unlike scripted playbooks that follow the same steps regardless of context, Torq’s AI-powered multi-agent systems adapt dynamically to evolving threat landscapes, triaging alerts, enriching data with context, and autonomously selecting next actions. This innovation empowers security teams to respond to threats more effectively and efficiently.

The Role of AI Agents
A standout feature of Torq’s platform is its agentic AI capability. These AI agents function as digital security analysts, operating nonstop to triage alerts, investigate threats, and often remediate issues automatically. By collaborating internally and escalating complex or ambiguous cases to human analysts, these agents enable human experts to focus on strategic, high-priority tasks instead of repetitive, routine work.
"AI agents are driving a change in multiple software industries as we speak", said Ofer Smadari, chief executive officer and co-founder of Torq, in a blog post. "Torq shows that the application of this technology to security operations can bring tremendous outcomes and this is what we are after: the opportunity of breaking away from ‘being an important tool for security professionals’ and delivering on our true mission: providing outcomes that revolutionize security operations and make the overall security posture of an organization much stronger than ever before."
Torq’s AI agents have been widely embraced by leading organizations such as Marriott International Inc., PepsiCo Inc., Procter & Gamble Co., Siemens AG, Uber Technologies Inc., and Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd. These companies rely on the platform to execute millions of security actions daily, ranging from complex investigations to rapid response measures.
Backed by Leading Investors
The Series D funding round was led by Merlin Ventures Ltd., with additional participation from Evolution Equity Partners, Notable Capital LP, Bessemer Venture Partners, Insight Partners, and Greenfield Partners. This latest investment brings Torq’s total funding to $332 million. Previous funding rounds included $50 million in December 2021, $42 million in January 2024, and $70 million in September 2024.
"Torq is redefining security operations", said Shay Michel, managing partner at Merlin Ventures. "They’ve fused automation and human judgment into a new AI SOC platform built for asymmetric threats and real-world scale. This is why Merlin is leading the investment."
With its innovative approach to security operations and the support of prominent investors, Torq is positioned to make significant strides in the cybersecurity landscape, helping organizations strengthen their security posture in an increasingly complex threat environment.
