For financial institutions, the pressure to outpace fraudsters, stay ahead of regulators, and defend sprawling infrastructures is endless. Yet inside too many SOCs, it’s still the same story: manual processes, brittle legacy tools, and security workflows held together by spreadsheets and custom coding.
That’s changing fast.
Modern financial institutions are turning to no code workflow automation to eliminate inefficiencies, reduce risk, and scale operations. They’re moving away from legacy SOAR platforms that require months of scripting just to get basic use cases up and running. With Torq, teams are deploying powerful, cross-functional automations in days.
From regional banks to asset giants like Blackstone, the shift is clear: No code isn’t just easier. It’s better. Faster. More secure. And it’s how the smartest financial orgs are staying ahead of the threats, and the competition.
Why Financial SOCs Are Turning to No Code Workflow Automation
Financial and bank SOCs face a perfect storm:
- Rising attack volumes and sophistication
- Burdensome regulatory oversight
- Analyst shortages and burnout
- Pressure to do more with less
What Financial SOCs Are Automating First
Most financial customers come to Torq after hitting a wall with legacy SOAR. They’re tired of vendor sprawl, compliance nightmares, and tools that require a full engineering and professional services team just to run.
Finance orgs prioritize use cases that deliver fast wins in compliance-heavy, high-risk environments. The most common starting points are:
- Phishing detection and remediation
- Fraud response
- Identity and access management
- Threat intel and IOC enrichment
- Ransomware containment
They choose Torq because it’s secure by design: zero-trust architecture, native SOC 2 compliance, and a platform built to scale. They stay because it just works.
Blackstone: From SOAR to 80+ No Code Automated Workflows
Legacy SOAR platforms require custom scripting and complex coding to implement basic use cases. This dependence on coding creates massive bottlenecks in financial organizations that juggle dozens of tools and deal with an evolving threat landscape. It slows everything down, requires specialized talent, and makes scaling automation nearly impossible.
That’s why financial leaders are ditching SOAR for no-code security automation solutions. With intuitive, drag-and-drop tools, analysts — not just engineers — can build powerful, scalable automations across fraud detection, IAM, phishing response, and more.
Blackstone, the world’s largest alternative asset manager, spent years keeping just a handful of workflows alive in their legacy SOAR. After switching to Torq, they launched 30+ automations in six months. Today, they’ve scaled to over 80 workflows across incident response, fraud, threat hunting, and IAM.
What changed?
- A no code workflow automation platform built for security teams that actually works
- A scalable Hyperautomation solution that meets the rigor of financial controls
- A true partnership — not just another vendor with a steep learning curve
How a Leading U.S. Bank Beat Zelle Fraud with No-Code Workflow Automation
Preventing fraud is a top challenge for financial institutions. As attacks become more sophisticated and digital-first payment methods become increasingly more common, the scale of financial fraud is escalating beyond the reach of legacy defenses.
With the Torq platform’s no-code workflow automation, security teams can connect SIEMs, fraud detection systems, case management tools, and identity services with real-time, orchestrated workflows. Financial institutions can spot fraud faster, reduce false positives, and take immediate, coordinated action.
Case in point: After a surge in Zelle fraud forced a top 30 U.S. bank to suspend Zelle services under SEC pressure, they turned to Torq. In just 90 days, they built over 100 automated workflows, including a no-code system that autonomously locks down compromised accounts.
They were quickly able to reinstate Zelle services, and the fraud response time decreased from hours to seconds while automation expanded beyond the SOC into fraud, GRC, and IT. This is the power of no-code security workflow automation in action — fast, scalable, and built for high-stakes financial environments.
Why Torq Wins in High-Stakes Financial Environments
Financial institutions are highly regulated, highly targeted — and often highly siloed. That’s why they need automation that works, scales, and earns trust. Torq delivers:
- No code architecture: Secure, scalable, built for both on-prem and cloud
- Multi-tenant capabilities: Support for global SOC structures with centralized oversight
- Fast, responsible AI: With Socrates and our multi-agent system, Torq lets humans direct strategy while AI handles Tier-1 remediation.
- Audit-ready evidence: Every action is logged with full context and metadata.
Financial customers want to get it right the first time. With Torq, they can.
The Future of Financial SecOps Is Automated
Banks, insurers, and fintechs are under pressure to modernize fast without compromising security or compliance. Legacy security automation and orchestration won’t cut it. No code workflow automation built for financial security teams is the only path forward.
