Fueled by Massive Customer Adoption of AI Agents, Torq Scales the World’s First True AI SOC Platform and Accelerates Expansion into the U.S. Federal Market
Torq, the established Agentic AI security operations pioneer, today announced it has closed a massive $140 million Series D funding round, propelling its valuation to $1.2 billion and total funding to $332M.
Led by Merlin Ventures—a leading cybersecurity fund renowned for its deep access to the U.S. commercial and Public Sector markets—with participation from all existing investors, including Evolution Equity Partners, Notable Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Insight Ventures Partners, and Greenfield Partners, this capital injection is a definitive investment in the future of security. Torq is driving the industry’s critical shift: the complete transformation of the Security Operations Center (SOC) through battle-tested AI Agents at enterprise scale.
The new funds will accelerate the adoption of the Torq AI SOC Platform, the only end-to-end solution built on the pillars of advanced Hyperautomation, Alert Triage, and Fatigue Reduction to deliver full operational autonomy for global enterprises and government agencies.
“Torq is redefining security operations. They’ve fused automation and human judgment into a new AI SOC Platform built for asymmetric threats and real-world scale. This is why Merlin is leading the investment. Our focus now is speed—accelerating go-to-market, expanding across commercial and government markets, and building the next global category leader in AI security operations.”
Torq Delivers On the Promise of the AI SOC
“This funding accelerates our mission to define and dominate the AI SOC market. We are moving far beyond the constraints of legacy SOAR and SIEM, harnessing the Agentic AI Era to deliver outcomes our customers rely on. Global enterprise adoption of our AI SOC Platform has validated our vision for the future of security operations.”
Global enterprise adoption of Torq’s AI SOC Platform has validated its vision for the future of security operations. Fortune 100 customers are using Torq AI Agents in their SOCs for everything from investigation to response, enabling massive revenue growth and expanding Torq’s reach into high-stakes Federal and Public Sector markets.
The Growth Engine: Massive AI Agent Adoption
The primary driver behind Torq’s 2025 growth is the unprecedented adoption of its AI Agents across its global customer base. Unlike legacy security tools that require extensive professional services, Torq AI Agents are self-service, allowing security teams to build and deploy sophisticated agents with minimal effort.
Today, Torq AI Agents are deeply embedded in Fortune 500 SOCs, autonomously managing millions of complex security tasks. This bottom-up adoption has transformed Torq from a specialized tool into the primary platform for the modern SOC.
“Within 48 hours of deployment, our team was using Torq’s AI SOC Platform for automating phishing triage, accelerating alert handling, and reducing response times. Analysts reclaimed hours of time, containment actions became automatic, and the security team evolved from reactive responders to proactive strategists.”
Strategic Expansion Into the Federal Market
Torq’s partnership with Merlin Ventures is accelerating traction in the U.S. Federal and Public Sector markets. Merlin’s nearly 30 years of experience helps Torq navigate compliance requirements such as FedRAMP while scaling AI SOC capabilities to protect critical national infrastructure.
Explosive Growth and Enterprise Validation
The Series D funding affirms Torq’s maturity and proven market traction. In 2025 alone, Torq expanded rapidly across multinational enterprises including Marriott, PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, Siemens, Uber, and Virgin Atlantic.
