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.
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.
