Torq and RSM Join Forces to Strengthen Security Operations
Torq, a leader in AI-driven hyperautomation, has entered into a strategic partnership with RSM US, a widely respected professional services firm. The goal: weave the Torq HyperSOC solution into RSM’s managed Security Operations Center (SOC) offerings so their teams can investigate, triage, and respond to threats faster and with greater consistency. Put simply, RSM’s clients get stronger security operations without added complexity.
AI That Speeds Up the Work That Matters
Torq HyperSOC is built to make SOC work move with purpose. Using advanced machine learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP), it helps analysts kick off and carry out investigations in minutes instead of hours. It streamlines triage, routes alerts to the right people at the right time, and removes repetitive steps that slow teams down. The result is focus: analysts spend less time clicking and more time analyzing, advising, and improving the organization’s overall security posture.
What HyperSOC Brings to RSM Defense
The partnership centers on practical gains for RSM’s clients. As Todd Willoughby, Director of RSM Defense, put it, "Torq HyperSOC offers unprecedented protection and drives extraordinary efficiency for RSM Defense and our customers." With HyperSOC in the mix, RSM aims to deliver tightly integrated threat intelligence, vulnerability management, and incident response—capabilities that help diverse organizations handle the volume and variety of modern threats without losing sight of what’s critical.
Tackling Alert Fatigue and Everyday Friction
Modern SOCs face an unrelenting stream of alerts. That flood leads to fatigue, rework, and, over time, burnt-out analysts. Torq HyperSOC steps in by automating the repeatable tasks that drain attention—enrichment, correlation, notification, and routine follow-ups—so teams can concentrate on judgment calls and high-impact response. This makes daily operations more manageable and strengthens RSM Defense’s ability to help clients stay ahead of escalating threats while keeping their own staff grounded and effective.
A Partnership Built for Real Outcomes
The collaboration is about more than plugging in new technology. As Christopher Federico, Vice-President of MSSP Sales at Torq, emphasized, "Torq HyperSOC better protects RSM Defense customers from the escalating complexity and severity of the threat landscape." Together, Torq and RSM are aligning process, people, and AI-driven automation to deliver outcomes that fit each client’s environment, whether the client runs lean security teams or operates across multiple business lines and regions.
