Torq raises $140M Series D, hits $1.2B valuation as new unicorn

September 10, 2026

Raised

$140M

Series D

Its AI agents already run threat triage for Fortune 100 security teams, a sign legacy SOAR and SIEM tools are losing ground fast.

  • Torq closed a $140M Series D led by cybersecurity fund Merlin Ventures, pushing its valuation to $1.2 billion and making it a new unicorn.
  • The Israeli startup's AI SOC platform automates alert triage, investigation, and response for security teams at PepsiCo, Marriott, Uber, and Siemens.
  • The round brings Torq's total funding to $332M, following a $70M Series C in September 2024 and an expanded Series B in January 2024.
  • Torq reports roughly 300% revenue growth and 200% headcount growth over the past year, evidence of fast enterprise uptake of its AI agents.
  • Torq is now pursuing FedRAMP authorization through a partnership with government technology firm Merlin, aiming to bring its AI SOC platform to federal agencies.
  • The raise reflects investor confidence that 'agentic AI' can replace labor-intensive SOAR and SIEM tools with autonomous, machine-speed threat response.
