Wiz Defend Offering Debuts with Torq as a Launch Partner

Technology integration bolsters detection and response by hyperautomating security event investigation, triage, and remediation at scale

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Torq, the AI-first security hyperautomation leader, today announced its status as a launch partner for Wiz Defend. The new solution from Wiz draws upon the power of Wiz Integration Network (WIN) partners to better detect and respond to cloud threats in real-time. Torq was selected as a launch partner due to the success of Torq HyperSOC, a purpose-built solution that harnesses the power of the AI-driven Torq Hyperautomation Platform to automate, manage, and monitor critical SOC responses at machine speed. Torq HyperSOC seamlessly integrates with Wiz Defend to empower customers and their SOC/Incident Response teams.

The WIN platform enables bi-directional sharing of security findings across the cloud security ecosystem comprised of hundreds of industry-leading partners like Torq that help mutual customers gain security insight and visibility. With the introduction of Wiz Defend, Wiz is now extending its value to SOC and IR teams for better preparation, investigation, detection, and response to cloud incidents.

WIN enables mutual customers of Torq and Wiz to:

• Automate, manage, and monitor critical SOC responses at machine speed
• Use Natural Language Processing (NLP) to initiate and accelerate security event investigation, triage, and remediation at scale
• Deliver comprehensive case management capabilities with unprecedented ease
• Automate and integrate complex SecOps processes
• Save analysts from alert fatigue and job burnout so they can focus on strategic security initiatives and innovation

The combined value of these two offerings will streamline security for organizations seeking to eliminate blind spots and telemetry gaps in order to improve cloud incident response readiness, multi-cloud threat detection, investigation, and threat hunting.

“Torq and Wiz are both at the forefront of empowering SecOps teams with cutting-edge, Generative AI-based security automation advances that are enabling them to exponentially increase cyber threat mitigation and SecOps team productivity,” said Eldad Livni, Co-Founder and CINO, Torq. “The combination of Torq Hyperautomation and Wiz Defend delivers a significant new layer of cloud security for Torq Hyperautomation customers across even the most complex enterprise security infrastructures.”

“WIN partners are key to the success of Wiz Defend,” said Oron Noah, VP Product Extensibility & Partnerships, Wiz. “Customers want agility, choice, and to work with the best of the best – thanks to WIN, they get it in one place while also reinventing threat detection in the cloud.
