Security Startup Torq Raises Cash at $1.2 Billion Valuation

The Israeli cybersecurity startup Torq is planning to announce Sunday that it has closed a $140 million funding round, raising its valuation to $1.2 billion.

Torq, which is based in Tel Aviv, offers what it says is an autonomous security operations platform designed from the ground up with artificial intelligence. Torq can automate repetitive work using AI agents, like wading through huge volumes of security alerts. That allows employees to focus on more complex, and potentially dangerous, issues.
