Agentic AI is a cutting-edge development in the field of AI that we have seen pop up more and more often on GenAI Today.
To simplify it, agentic AI empowers AI systems to proactively understand the world around them, make informed decisions and take actions on their own. It is set to unlock new possibilities and drive innovation across the globe.
For example, in healthcare, agentic AI analyzes vast amounts of patient data to develop tailored treatment plans and monitors patients remotely to detect early signs of deterioration and alert healthcare providers.
In finance, agentic AI executes complex trading strategies at fast speeds, identifies suspicious patterns and prevents financial fraud. It can also predict potential financial crises and develop proactive strategies to mitigate them.
For the manufacturing industry, agentic AI predicts equipment failures, optimizes supply chains, and identifies defects and inconsistencies in products.
Agentic AI also has potential to enhance security operations by automating various tasks and making intelligent decisions. And Torq’s agentic AI is providing exactly that.
Torq's Agentic AI automates routine security tasks, freeing up security analysts to focus on more complex threats. This AI system reduces manual investigations, increases analyst productivity and minimizes errors.
Torq is known as an AI-native autonomous SOC and hyperautomation provider, and it recently expanded its Agentic AI capabilities with a new, autonomous multi-agent system for security operations. This new framework builds on the capabilities of Torq Socrates, cybersecurity’s first Tier-1 analysis AI Agent.
The Torq Agentic AI framework involves multiple collaborative agents that are experts in specific tasks, enabling them to work with one another to address related, complementary actions.
Socrates Agent functions as a virtual Tier-1 SOC analyst, complements current staff and acts as a force multiplier for team output. Socrates Agentic AI hyperautomates key activities (including alert triage, validation and classification; contextual data enrichment, incident investigation, and escalation and response).
Builder Agent empowers SOC analysts and architects to quickly reate custom security automation workflows. It uses natural language input (via LLMs and Torq’s extensive library of actions and integrations) to generate simple to complex workflows. Doing this reduces implementation time effort and troubleshooting.
Scripting Agent acts as a step completion assistant. Non-developers are empowered to effortlessly create sophisticated automation steps with expert coding logic and syntax, by receiving intelligent suggestions for scripting, variables and technical elements.
Torq Agentic AI is also a crucial part of Torq HyperSOC, the purpose-built Torq solution that uses the AI-driven Torq Hyperautomation Platform to automate, manage and monitor critical SOC responses at machine speed.
And big companies are benefitting from this, to boot.
Carvana, the automotive industry pioneer for buying and selling used cars online, has seen extraordinary outcomes with Torq Agentic AI and Torq HyperSOC. According to Kevin Murrietta, Team Lead, Security Operations Center, Carvana, these AI-powered tools "have automated numerous security tasks, including handling all high-priority alerts and executing automated responses." This automation reduced the workload of Carvana's security team, which allowed them to prioritize critical security issues.
Carvana join the ranks of Torq’s existing customer base, including Abnormal Security, Armis, Blackstone, Check Point Security, Chipotle, Lemonade, Lennar, Nubank, Rivian, Telefonica, Wiz, Zara and ZoomInfo, as well as Fortune 100 consumer packaged goods, fashion, financial, hospitality and sports apparel companies. It will be interesting to see the impact these expanded capabilities, with the multiple agent approach, has on its existing customers as well as if any other major brands will take note of Torq.
Be part of the discussion about the latest trends and developments in the Generative AI space at Generative AI Expo, taking place February 11-13, 2025, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Generative AI Expo covers the evolution of GenAI and will feature conversations focused on the potential for GenAI across industries and how the technology is already being used to create new opportunities for businesses to improve operations, enhance customer experiences, and create new growth opportunities.
