Torq vs Prophet Security
Torq
Torq is a security hyperautomation platform positioned as a replacement for legacy SOAR, with 300+ prebuilt integrations and 4,000+ workflow steps for automating security operations. Its HyperSOC product adds an agentic AI layer on top of that automation base: Socrates, the platform's AI SOC analyst, orchestrates specialized HyperAgents that triage alerts, gather evidence, build case timelines, and execute containment and remediation, with auditable records of agent reasoning. The platform is cloud native and includes built-in case management. Torq was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Denver, Colorado.
Pros
- The agentic SOC sits on an established hyperautomation platform rather than standing alone, per company materials and Series D coverage
- Reported Fortune 100 customer adoption, 332M dollars total funding, and a 1.2B dollar valuation as of January 2026 (ExecutiveBiz)
- Vendor reports a 4.8/5 rating on Gartner Peer Insights across 51 reviews
Things to check
- Autonomous-closure figures of 90%+ are vendor reported, while a customer quote on the vendor's own site cites just over 50% of Tier 1 and 2 alerts; validate expected automation rates for your environment
- Cloud-native SaaS with no self-hosted edition advertised; check data-handling and residency requirements
- Pricing is not published

Prophet Security
Prophet Security builds an agentic AI SOC platform whose main component, Prophet AI SOC Analyst, autonomously triages, investigates and responds to security alerts, alongside an AI Threat Hunter and an AI Detection Advisor aligned to MITRE ATT&CK. The platform shows its full reasoning, investigation plans, queries and evidence for each investigation. It deploys by taking read-only API access to existing tools such as SIEM, identity providers, cloud platforms and EDR, and returns results in an investigation workbench. The company was co-founded by Kamal Shah and Vibhav Sreekanti, whose prior company StackRox was acquired by Red Hat.
Pros
- Raised a $30M Series A led by Accel with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, following an $11M seed led by Bain Capital Ventures (Pulse2, Help Net Security)
- Founders' prior company StackRox was acquired by Red Hat (company blog)
- Company reports over 1 million investigations conducted and 360,000 analyst hours saved in a six-month period (Pulse2, company-reported)
- Docker is a named customer with an executive quote in funding coverage (Pulse2)
Things to check
- Pricing is not published; prospective buyers need to request a quote
- Headline metrics such as 10x faster response and 96% fewer false positives are company-reported rather than independently audited
- The company emerged from stealth in April 2024, so long-term production references are still limited
