See how Torq harnesses AI in your SOC to detect, prioritize, and respond to threats faster.
The energy at Fal.Con 2025 was undeniable. Conversations weren’t about if AI belongs in the SOC — they were about how fast teams can adopt it, govern it, and get value fast. And across the Hub Expo floor, SOC leaders we talked to were blunt: Legacy SOAR is dead. The future is agentic AI and Hyperautomation, and it’s happening now.
The Current SOC Model is Cracking
SOCs are drowning under the weight of alerts, manual triage, and analyst churn. With thousands of alerts per day and too few analysts to investigate them, it’s no surprise so many threats slip through the cracks.
Legacy SOAR platforms like XSOAR aren’t helping — they’re holding security teams back. Monolithic, slow, and code-heavy, they trap analysts in brittle playbooks and endless swivel-chair work.
That’s why so many conversations at Fal.Con 2025 gravitated toward the joint value of Torq Hyperautomation™ and CrowdStrike Falcon. Together, they’re giving SOC teams what legacy SOAR never could: automation at scale, real-time intelligence, and a foundation for truly autonomous security operations.
What Everyone Was Talking About at Fal.Con 2025
AI or die. SOC leaders agreed: Adversaries have AI, so SOCs need AI just to survive. With Torq + CrowdStrike, AI agents and automated workflows already cut Tier-1 work by over 95%, proving autonomy isn’t a future dream; it’s a reality in production at Fortune 500s.
Bridging SecOps + IT. Conversations weren’t about Torq versus CrowdStrike, but about how the two together unify security and IT operations into a seamless, coordinated defense. Falcon Fusion provides real-time data aggregation and automation within the CrowdStrike ecosystem; Torq orchestrates it into automated case lifecycles that span broader Hyperautomated use cases across both IT and security domains.
Agentic AI in practice. SOC leaders weren’t looking for another dashboard. They wanted AI that helps analysts cut through noise and focus on real threats. With Socrates, Torq’s AI SOC Analyst, enriched CrowdStrike detections become fully triaged cases, escalated only when human judgment is needed.
Multi-SIEM strategy. With many security teams migrating log aggregation to CrowdStrike Fusion, analysts are searching for a way to adhere to data retention compliance policies while maintaining a way to take action on logs stored in multiple data lakes. Torq becomes the solution to the multi-SIEM challenge, sitting at the center of disconnected data lakes to automatically query, correlate, and streamline data management across the entire environment.
Live from the Fal.Con Theater: AI or Die
One of the highlights of Fal.Con 2025 was our standing room-only theater session, “Achieving the Autonomous SOC with AI Agents,” led by Chris Coburn, Torq’s Sr. Director of Tech Alliances. and myself. The message hit home: adversaries have AI — SOCs can’t afford to stay manual.
Key takeaways:
- AI agents are the next frontier. Gartner projects that AI will increase SOC efficiency by 40% by 2026, and Torq Socrates is already proving that today.
- Agentic reasoning is key to building trust. Torq’s AI agents provide clear, immutable agentic execution logs, giving security leaders trust in the decision making and autonomous actions of AI.
- Autonomy is real. IDC validated that Torq HyperSOC™ enables SOC teams to cut investigation time by up to 90% and handle 3–5× more cases without adding headcount.
- From burnout to resilience. Agentic AI reduces alert fatigue, eliminates Tier-1 grunt work, and empowers analysts to focus on higher-value investigations.
The audience agreed. SOC leaders don’t want more dashboards or point tools. They want a path to SOC autonomy that’s proven, practical, and safe to deploy at scale — and Torq + Crowdstrike deliver that blueprint.
Torq + CrowdStrike: Better Together
Torq Hyperautomation™ and CrowdStrike Falcon are the new foundation for autonomous SecOps. Together, they deliver:
- Seamless integration. Day-one automation across Falcon detections, incident response, and vulnerability management.
- Built for scale. Multi-tenant support for MSSPs and elastic performance for enterprise SOCs.
- AI-driven autonomy. Socrates (Torq’s AI SOC Analyst) and Falcon Fusion power real-time triage, enrichment, and auto-remediation.
Proven outcomes:
- 10× faster response times
- 95%+ Tier-1 tasks auto-remediated
- Near real-time case management with Falcon LogScale
- 11.5 million Torq + CrowdStrike automated actions every year across 150+ organizations
