Last year was an absolutely amazing year for Torq. The stats are just mind-blowing: 300% revenue growth and 200% employee growth. We also closed our $70M Series C round, bringing our total funding to $192M.
In 2024, we officially closed the door behind us on SOAR and blew open the door ahead for Torq Agentic AI security solutions, which are now used by some of the biggest names in cybersecurity, consumer packaged goods, industrial automation, retail, and telecommunications. We’re talking about companies you know and love, like Abnormal Security, Check Point Security, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Deepwatch, Inditex (you may know them better by their brands Zara, Bershka, and Pull & Bear), Informatica, PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, Siemens, Telefonica, and Wiz. And our unique security operations approach was validated by Gartner, IDC, Forrester, and GigaOm.
EMEA Expansion and New London HQ
Well, guess what? We’re just getting started. In 2024, Torq achieved incredible market penetration across North and South America, and APAC, where Torq HyperSOC and Torq Hyperautomation products are now firmly established as the premiere Agentic AI and autonomous SOC solutions of choice for global enterprises. And now, I’m so pleased to let you know we’ve dramatically expanded operations across EMEA.
We’ve got brand new EMEA headquarters in London, and we’ve appointed Usman Gulfaraz as our new VP of EMEA Sales. Usman is a high-octane, phenomenal leader, who was most recently responsible for global revenue at Speechmatics. Previously, he ran EMEA for Tessian, which he helped lead to acquisition by Proofpoint. And prior to that, he ran EMEA for Shape Security which he helped lead to acquisition by F5. We’ve also just appointed Jaicee Matthews as our Head of EMEA Marketing. Jaicee previously led marketing teams for GTT, Edgio, and Lumen Technologies. Both of them are based in London.
I asked Usman for his thoughts and here’s what he told me: “I’m absolutely elated to join this world-class team of cybersecurity professionals making such a huge difference for enterprises around the world. Every day, I’m increasingly hearing from EMEA customers and prospects about their excitement about Torq HyperSOC featuring our Agentic AI Multi-Agent Framework. Demand is so high for Torq, I barely have time to write this quote for you, Don. The sky’s the limit for Torq and the fact that my email and phone are constantly blowing up says it all.”
Accelerating EMEA Partner Momentum
Our EMEA partner base is also increasing by leaps and bounds. It already includes AdvanceSec, Bytes Software Services, Check Point, GlobalDots, Nubera, Nueva Group, Softcat, Tata Group, Wiz, and WWT, with dozens more about to sign.
Here’s what Adam McCaig, Head of Security Strategy and Services at Bytes Software Services, had to say: “We’re thrilled to partner with Torq and continue to deliver innovation that matters to our customers. Demand for Torq’s game-changing Hyperautomation Platform and Torq HyperSOC continues expanding exponentially. Together, Torq and Bytes Software Services are making enterprise SecOps teams across EMEA more productive and focused with their AI-driven SecOps and autonomous SOC solutions, ensuring organizations can mitigate existential security issues before they have a chance of creating adverse impacts.”
Focus on Autonomous SOC
In 2025, you can expect even more generational, transformational shifts from Torq as we take our AI-driven, autonomous SOC focus to the next level. You’re going to witness some of the most innovative product and capability unveilings in the history of modern cybersecurity. We’re going to deliver on the promise of true autonomy and introduce SecOps efficiencies and productivity boosters the likes of which you’ve never seen before.
We can’t wait to show you what’s coming up!
