Torq, the established agentic security operations leader, today announced the acquisition of Jit, the Boston-based AI Context Graph cybersecurity pioneer. This move marks a dramatic leap forward for the Torq AI SOC Platform by ensuring agentic investigations are precisely informed via organization-specific contextual data. This shift redefines agentic reasoning, moving beyond static facts to prioritize live, dynamic contextual data, including business drivers and the real-time state of the enterprise.

Leadership Commentary

“Today's announcement is more than an acquisition—it's a defining moment for Torq and the future of security operations,” said Ofer Smadari, CEO and co-founder, Torq. “By uniting Jit's groundbreaking AI Context Graphs and Agentic technologies with the Torq AI SOC Platform, we're creating the ultimate proactive cybersecurity defensive offering. With the enhanced Torq AI SOC Platform, enterprises can focus on the right priorities and resourcing, with the knowledge that our new AI Context Graph is delivering unprecedented organization-specific clarity, adaptability, and protection in a world where every second counts.”

Platform Transformation

Instead of acting on fragmented data or having investigations triggered by a single alert, Torq AI operates with a unified, continuously-updated, contextual inference, enabling decisions that are not only explainable but inherently grounded in a single and up-to-date source of truth. This reflects not only organizational assets but procedural data inferred from the way an organization's security operations are conducted. The result: higher-velocity actions that command greater trust, deliver consistent precision, and drive stronger outcomes, such as being able to move to autonomous containment and threat prevention with greater confidence.

With the integration of Jit's AI Context Graph technology, the Torq AI SOC Platform becomes a unified intelligence and execution layer for the entire cybersecurity stack—ingesting signals from everywhere and acting across the full threat lifecycle. It doesn't just process data, but understands the organization in context—identities, roles, privileges, and data sensitivity—surfacing risk with precision and depth. Every signal is combined into a single decision layer, where actions across building, triage, investigation, and response are automated, fully traceable, and grounded in real context.
