For security teams, resolving a cloud incident takes an average of 10 days — time attackers can exploit to cause further damage. The problem? SOCs often lack the context and cloud security automation they need to respond faster. That’s where the partnership between Torq and Sweet Security changes the game.
Why SOCs Need Torq and Sweet Security
Sweet Security delivers the real-time, cloud visibility SOCs need to identify threats quickly and accurately. Torq takes it further by automating the response process, bridging the gap between detection and action. Together, they empower SOC teams to neutralize threats in minutes — not days — reclaiming control over their cloud environments and staying ahead of attackers.
Sweet Security: Raising the Bar for Cloud Detection and Response
Sweet Security approaches cloud protection with precision and expertise that stands apart. Their platform combines unified cloud visibility across the cloud infrastructure, workloads, and applications with deep runtime context, enabling SOCs to detect and neutralize real-time threats as they unfold. By integrating cutting-edge, cloud-native technologies, Sweet equips security teams to handle even the most sophisticated attacks with confidence and resilience.
Sweet’s Detection & Response capabilities reduce MTTR by enriching incident insights with detailed information on human and non-human identities, including roles, users, and service accounts. By correlating siloed cloud events into a comprehensive attack story and leveraging an advanced threshold mechanism to minimize false positives, Sweet ensures deeper context and alerts only on high-probability malicious incidents. Seamless orchestration with Torq further amplifies these capabilities.
Torq Hyperautomation: Transforming SOC Operations
Torq has redefined what’s possible for SOCs by enabling Hyperautomation across workflows. With Torq, SOC teams can design, deploy, and scale automated incident responses — reducing manual work and freeing analysts to focus on critical decision-making. Whether it’s accelerating the triage process, auto-remediating threats, or optimizing collaboration between tools and teams, Torq’s platform brings unmatched speed and precision to security operations.
Together, Torq and Sweet Security’s integration achieves what was once thought impossible: full-spectrum cloud protection, automated at scale.
What the Integration Delivers to SOC Teams
Torq and Sweet’s integration creates a seamless threat detection and resolution pipeline. Here’s how:
- Unified cloud visibility meets real-time automation: Sweet Security provides SOCs unparalleled insight into cloud environments, while Torq transforms these insights into automated actions. When Sweet’s platform identifies an anomaly, Torq can immediately trigger a workflow to respond to the threat.
- Proactive incident response: Cloud attacks often unfold in seconds, leaving SOC teams little time to react. With this integration, Sweet’s real-time detection feeds directly into Torq’s cloud security automation workflows, enabling SOCs to mitigate threats faster. For example, Sweet’s advanced capabilities allow for the detection of the human identity responsible for an incident and the ability to directly question the user about their activity — without requiring SOC intervention.
- Customizable workflows for every cloud environment: No two organizations operate the same cloud stack. Torq’s no-code platform allows security teams to tailor response workflows that align perfectly with their unique cloud setups, ensuring that Sweet Security’s detections are met with tailored, effective responses.
- Enhanced SOC efficiency and morale: Automation doesn’t just eliminate repetitive tasks — it empowers SOC teams to operate at their best. By integrating Sweet’s intelligence with Torq’s workflows, analysts are no longer bogged down by manual processes, allowing them to focus on strategic initiatives that strengthen overall security posture.
A Use Case: From Detection to Mitigation in Minutes
Imagine this scenario: Sweet Security identifies unusual activity in a cloud environment, flagging a misconfigured container with potential malware. The alert triggers a prebuilt Torq workflow that:
- Enhances alerts with additional context from threat intelligence sources, as well as data from cloud provider APIs and log services, such as AWS CloudTrail and CloudWatch.
- Automatically reaches out to asset owners through Slack or Microsoft Teams, enabling them to remediate minor issues without involving the SOC.
- Isolates the container while verifying the presence of malware.
- Deploys a remediation script to correct the misconfiguration.
- Directly engages the suspected user to verify their activity — eliminating the need for SOC intervention.
All of this occurs in minutes — not hours or days — significantly reducing the attack’s impact.

Looking Ahead: Strengthening the Future of Cloud Security
The Torq and Sweet Security partnership isn’t just about solving today’s cloud security challenges — it’s about preparing SOCs for the future. With the increasing sophistication of cloud-native attacks, the ability to integrate real-time detection with scalable automation will be a non-negotiable for every security team.
At its core, this collaboration underscores a simple but powerful truth: when detection meets automation, SOCs can achieve extraordinary outcomes. By combining Sweet Security’s advanced cloud-native detection with Torq’s Hyperautomation platform, security teams are no longer playing catch-up. They’re setting the pace.
