The Israeli cybersecurity startup Torq has announced the completion of a $140 million funding round, a move that raises the company’s valuation to $1.2 billion and positions it as one of the most prominent emerging players in the global technology sector. The company stated that the new capital will be primarily used to support the launch and expansion of its artificial intelligence–driven Security Operations Center (SOC) platform, as well as to accelerate its growth strategy in the United States, a key market for its long-term development.
Founded in 2020, Torq specializes in cybersecurity solutions that leverage artificial intelligence to automate critical processes within digital defense operations. Its technology is designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats more quickly and efficiently, significantly reducing the operational burden on human security teams. Since its inception, the company has attracted substantial investor interest, bringing its total funding raised to $332 million to date.
This level of investment reflects the growing demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions as digital threats become increasingly complex and frequent. According to Torq, its platform enables security operations centers to function with greater autonomy by deploying AI-powered agents capable of analyzing large volumes of data, identifying risk patterns, and executing automated responses to security incidents. Torq has experienced rapid growth in recent years and has expanded its international footprint, with a strong focus on the U.S. market.
The company views North America as a critical region for the widespread adoption of AI-driven security technologies. Its client base includes major corporations across multiple industries, highlighting both the scalability of its solutions and the confidence that global enterprises place in automation to protect critical infrastructure and sensitive data.
With this latest funding round, Torq aims to strengthen its position in the highly competitive cybersecurity landscape and advance its goal of redefining how security operations centers operate through artificial intelligence, at a time when digital protection has become a strategic priority for organizations worldwide.
