See how Torq harnesses AI in your SOC to detect, prioritize, and respond to threats faster.
Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) was never built for hybrid cloud adoption at enterprise scale. Legacy SOAR’s complexity, critical operational holes, and technical limitations make it the fatal flaw sinking your organization’s ship. Hyperautomation addresses these challenges with scalable, AI-driven orchestration that enhances security posture while reducing operational overhead.
If your SOC is still relying on legacy SOAR, here are eight Hyperautomation benefits that show why it’s time to switch — today.
What is Hyperautomation?
First things first, what is Hyperautomation? Security Hyperautomation combines AI-driven automation, orchestration, and advanced analytics, enabling your security teams to manage complex workflows across multiple platforms autonomously.
Unlike traditional automation methods, Hyperautomation integrates seamlessly with existing security stacks and business processes, enhancing your team’s ability to respond effectively to evolving threats.
8 Hyperautomation Benefits That Deliver
1. Ease of Use and Simplicity
One of the top benefits of Hyperautomation is accessibility. With Torq, anyone on your security team, not just developers, can create powerful workflows in minutes with never-seen-before efficiency. Thanks to its drag-and-drop interface, the solution is powerful enough to handle the most complex threat responses yet easy enough to deploy. Unlike legacy SOAR solutions, multiple teams can eliminate repetitive security tasks with automations that can be created in minutes.
2. Enterprise-Grade Security Architecture
Torq’s Hyperautomation platform is built for scale. Built on cloud-native, zero-trust principles, Hyperautomation ensures extensive security at scale. For example, Torq delivers immutable activity logs, granular role-based access controls, and strict adherence to compliance, addressing critical operational gaps common in legacy SOAR solutions.
3. Measurable ROI and Cost Savings
With dashboards like Torq Insights, security leaders can track real-time gains in productivity, cost savings, and incident resolution times. Many teams see a 10X+ efficiency boost within weeks, as Hyperautomation eliminates repetitive tasks and accelerates key metrics like MTTR and case closure rates.
4. Intelligent Case Management
Another key benefit of Hyperautomation is that it autonomously orchestrates the analysis and remediation of security cases. Rather than manually managing a security case’s progress, Hyperautomation workflows can be triggered by case-specific actions.
When a case severity changes or a new observable is added, Hyperautomation moves the case forward by intelligently adjusting the priority, assigning the appropriate field of ownership, or even beginning the remediation process. This accelerates the detection, analysis, and response of security issues, freeing up significant analyst time to focus on strategic activities.
5. Lower Services Overhead
Unlike traditional SOAR solutions, Hyperautomation platforms don’t need costly professional services to write complex Python scripts that bend rigid pre-built connectors or inflexible use case playbooks.
Torq’s advanced agentic AI capabilities provide guided coding expertise across scripting languages such as SSH, PowerShell, SQL, Python, BASH, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, Azure CLI, and more. This eliminates the need for any level of coding experience or unexpected expenses from third-party consultants. Achieve your automation goals quickly and efficiently without hidden charges.
6. Secure Connectivity
Hyperautomation eliminates the need for risky firewall modifications or VPN setups. With Torq’s zero-trust containerized agents, outbound-only connections securely integrate your on-premise infrastructure, maintaining security posture across any variation of cloud, hybrid, or on-premise environments.
7. Integrate Anything. Automate Everything.
Automate virtually any task or use case across any solution in your security stack with Hyperautomation’s agentic AI-driven workflow-building experience. Simply describe a workflow, use case, or outcome using natural language to guide Torq’s AI agents as it implements workflows to secure your organization faster than ever before. Or leverage Torq’s library of thousands of pre-built integrations, steps, templates, and AI prompts to inspire your next Hyperautomated security use case.
8. Extensibility Across the Organization
With Hyperautomation, you can empower your organization beyond security by connecting to collaboration, communication, and infrastructure applications — and more. Torq’s near-limitless connectivity enables security teams to interact with non-security employees, streamlining just-in-time access, information gathering, and incident response.
Hyperautomation in Action: Real-World Results
Here’s how organizations are achieving measurable outcomes with Hyperautomation:
The Problem
Enterprises struggle with fragmented security systems. Legacy SOAR promised automation but delivered complexity: rigid playbooks that break when anything changes, integrations requiring months of professional services, and specialised skills most teams don’t have. The result is SOC teams drowning in manual work while threats slip through.
The Solution
Hyperautomation provides seamless integration and AI-driven orchestration across the entire security stack. Instead of brittle playbooks, AI-driven workflows adapt without constant manual tuning. Instead of six-month integration projects, connections deploy in days. Instead of requiring dedicated automation engineers, anyone on the security team can build workflows.
The Results
Organizations implementing Torq Hyperautomation consistently achieve:
- 90-95% autonomous Tier-1 alert handling, eliminating the most resource-draining SOC work
- 60%+ reduction in MTTR, shrinking response times from hours to minutes
- 10x efficiency gains within weeks of deployment, not years
- 95% improvement in MTTI/MTTR for medium- and low-priority cases

SOAR Is Dead — and Hyperautomation Is the Answer
SOAR promised automation but delivered frustration. It’s slow, complex, and fundamentally not built for modern cybersecurity needs. Security Hyperautomation is the next evolution and the benefits are clear: faster to deploy, easier to scale, and purpose-built for the cloud-native, AI-driven SOC.
Don’t let legacy tools hold your team back. Start realizing the full value of AI-powered automation.

FAQs
Hyperautomation in cybersecurity combines AI-driven automation, orchestration, and advanced analytics to manage complex security workflows across multiple platforms autonomously. Unlike traditional automation or legacy SOAR, Hyperautomation uses agentic AI to build and adapt workflows dynamically, integrates with any tool in your security stack via pre-built connectors or natural-language-generated integrations, and orchestrates end-to-end incident response — from detection through remediation — at machine speed. It’s the evolution beyond rigid playbooks toward intelligent, adaptive security operations.
Legacy SOAR fails enterprises for three core reasons: complexity (requiring specialised skills and costly professional services), rigidity (brittle playbooks that break when environments change), and integration limitations (months-long projects to connect new tools).
Hyperautomation addresses each of these. It’s accessible to anyone on the security team through drag-and-drop interfaces and natural language workflow creation. It adapts dynamically using AI rather than requiring constant manual tuning. And it integrates with any tool in days, not months. The result is faster deployment, lower total cost of ownership, and automation that actually works at enterprise scale.
Hyperautomation improves SOC operations by automating the repetitive, time-consuming work that burns out analysts and delays response. Specifically, it provides autonomous Tier-1 alert triage — handling 90-95% of alerts without human intervention. It accelerates MTTR by executing response actions in seconds rather than hours. It eliminates swivel-chair operations by orchestrating workflows across all security tools automatically. And it frees analysts to focus on high-value work like threat hunting and strategic initiatives instead of copying data between consoles. Organizations using Torq Hyperautomation consistently report 10x+ efficiency gains and 60%+ reductions in mean time to respond.
Torq Hyperautomation includes several AI-driven capabilities that set it apart from legacy solutions. Agentic AI workflow creation lets users describe automations in natural language — the AI builds the workflow. Guided coding assistance provides expertise across scripting languages (Python, PowerShell, BASH, SQL, and more) without requiring coding experience. Intelligent case management automatically adjusts case priority, assigns ownership, and initiates remediation based on case-specific triggers. Socrates, our AI SOC Analyst, handles Tier-1 and Tier-2 cases autonomously, escalating to humans only when necessary with full context attached. These features eliminate the skills gap that makes legacy SOAR implementations fail.
Getting started with Hyperautomation is faster than you’d expect. Unlike legacy SOAR implementations that take 6-12 months, Torq customers typically deploy their first automated workflows within days. Start by identifying high-volume, repetitive use cases — phishing triage, alert enrichment, user access reviews — where automation delivers immediate ROI.
Torq’s library of pre-built templates accelerates deployment for common security workflows. From there, expand to more complex, multi-step automations as your team gains confidence. Most organisations see measurable efficiency gains within weeks, not months. Request a demo to see how Torq Hyperautomation can transform your security operations.
