Many organizations come to Torq when they’ve hit a wall with their legacy SOAR platform. The migration to Torq isn’t just a technology upgrade — it’s an operational overhaul. With Torq, enterprises have replaced hundreds of rigid playbooks in weeks, dramatically reduced time-to-value, and unlocked capabilities that legacy SOAR could never support.
The move to Torq is faster and smoother than you think,thanks to our intuitive workflow design, low-code flexibility, and hands-on migration support. If you’re considering a demo or a proof of concept (POC), these are the top three Hyperautomation use cases we’d start with — the ones that deliver instant value and set your implementation up for long-term success.
Hyperautomation: A SOC Must-Have
Hyperautomation is the current era of security operations — where every repetitive task, manual process, and alert-handling bottleneck gets replaced by scalable, intelligent automation. Unlike traditional SOAR, AI-driven Hyperautomation is agile, dynamic, and driven by real-time context.
In the SOC, this means:
- Faster threat response: Alerts are triaged, investigated, and remediated automatically across EDR, IAM, email, and cloud systems.
- Massive analyst efficiency gains: Your team spends less time on tedious Tier-1 tasks and more time threat hunting and improving security posture.
- Lower operational costs: Hyperautomation eliminates tool sprawl, reduces alert fatigue, and streamlines workflows, making the SOC leaner and more effective.
- Scalability: Whether it’s 10 alerts or 10,000, Hyperautomation responds at machine speed.
- Immediate ROI: The impact is measurable within days: reduced MTTR, faster MTTD, and happier analysts.
Torq’s Hyperautomation platform makes it easy to deploy, customize, and scale automation across your environment without writing a single line of code.
1. Endpoint Detection and Response
EDR is one of the most common Hyperautomation use cases, and for good reason. Endpoints are often the first line of defense when threats bypass preventative controls. But while EDR platforms like SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, and Microsoft Defender continuously surface alerts, they still rely on analysts for response.
That’s where Torq comes in. By integrating your EDR tools with Torq Hyperautomation, you can:
- Instantly isolate compromised hosts and cut off lateral movement
- Trigger targeted endpoint scans, triage workflows, and auto-remediation actions
- Correlate EDR alerts with identity, network, and threat intel context for smarter decision-making
- Auto-generate detailed incident reports with full observability into root cause and system impact
EDR Hyperautomation in Action: Torq and SentinelOne
When SentinelOne detects a threat, it sends event data via webhook to Torq, which triggers a predefined workflow. Socrates, Torq’s AI SOC Analyst, evaluates the threat, retrieves asset details from CMDB, checks for correlated user activity, and executes the appropriate response. The compromised host is quarantined, impacted credentials are flagged, and a full report is auto-generated for the analyst.
Automating EDR response is one of the most powerful first moves in any Hyperautomation POC. It delivers instant value, dramatically reduces MTTR, and frees analysts from constantly chasing endpoint alerts across multiple consoles.
2. Email Security
Phishing remains the #1 attack vector — and one of the most common triggers for Tier-1 security alerts. These alerts are high-volume, high-noise, and easy to miss. Automating phishing response with Torq during a POC delivers fast, visible results that eliminate manual overhead.
Torq integrates with various email security platforms, including Microsoft 365, Gmail, Proofpoint, VirusTotal, Mimecast, Abnormal Security, Barracuda, and Cisco.
With Torq, you can:
- Auto-quarantine suspicious emails
- Lock user inboxes and enforce password resets for potentially compromised accounts
- Extract, analyze, and enrich email artifacts like headers, links, and attachments
- Launch phishing investigation playbooks
This automation dramatically reduces the mean time to remediate (MTTR) phishing attempts, and it’s one of the clearest, most repeatable use cases for proving the power of Hyperautomation.
Email Security Hyperautomation in Action: Torq and VirusTotal
Torq integrates with VirusTotal to enhance email threat analysis. A Torq workflow can monitor a designated mailbox (such as Outlook or Gmail), extract URLs, attachments, and header IPs from each message, and submit them to VirusTotal for threat scoring. Based on the results, Torq automatically categorizes the message as malicious, suspicious, or clean, updating labels, alerting stakeholders, and kicking off remediation.
What once took hours (or days) is reduced to seconds. Analysts can investigate real threats instead of triaging false positives. And you immediately prove Hyperautomation’s impact on everyday SOC volume.
3. Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Identity is the new perimeter. Many breaches are caused by compromised credentials, whether through phishing, MFA fatigue, or social engineering. Automating IAM workflows early in your POC helps you immediately reduce access-related risk.
Torq integrates with leading IAM providers, including Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Ping Identity, Duo Security, JumpCloud, CyberArk, and Auth0.
Integrate Torq with your IAM, and you can:
- Detect and respond to suspicious login behavior
- Auto-disable accounts after anomalous activity
- Automate user provisioning and de-provisioning
- Trigger MFA resets and log analysis workflows
IAM Hyperautomation in Action: Torq and Okta
Here’s one way Torq and Okta work together: This workflow monitors for new MFA methods added in Okta, a common sign of account takeover. It checks the source IP with VirusTotal, asks the user to confirm the action, and if suspicious, auto-opens a Jira ticket, spins up a Slack message, and suspends the account if needed.
Integrating IAM with Torq at the start of your implementation reduces security risk and enhances operational efficiency by replacing slow, manual processes with scalable automation.
Fast, Scalable Results… In Days
These three use cases — EDR, email, and identity — are high-impact, high-speed proof of what AI-driven Hyperautomation can do for your SOC.
Our customers routinely:
