Torq vs Qevlar AI
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

Qevlar AI
Qevlar AI is an autonomous SOC investigation platform founded in Paris, France in 2023. It connects to an existing detection stack via API, investigates alerts from connected tools, correlates related activity into unified incident narratives with blast-radius mapping, and recommends containment actions while keeping analysts in oversight. The company describes a graph-based orchestration approach that uses LLMs for enrichment and summarization rather than core investigative reasoning. It sells to both enterprise SOC teams and MSSPs, with results surfaced in native consoles or Qevlar's own interface.
Pros
- Reported customers include Mercedes-Benz and Sodexo, plus MSSPs such as Orange Cyberdefense, Atos, and ECI (Vestbee funding coverage)
- Raised a 30M dollar Series A in March 2026 led by Partech and Forgepoint Capital International, with EQT Ventures participating (Vestbee)
- Vendor reports roughly 10x faster investigations, to about three minutes per alert, as cited in funding coverage
Things to check
- Young company (founded 2023); check roadmap, support coverage, and references for your region
- Investigation-time and automation metrics come from the vendor and funding coverage; validate on your own alert volume
- No public pricing, and no self-hosted option is advertised; check data residency and hosting requirements
