Cybersecurity Firm Torq Acquires Revrod, Boosts HyperSOC with AI Agents

Torq Co-Founders: Ofer Smadari, Leonid Belkind, and Eldad Livni

Torq, the Israeli-founded cybersecurity company betting big on AI-driven security operations, has acquired stealth-mode startup Revrod in a deal valued at over $20 million, according to market estimates. The acquisition brings cutting-edge multi-agent RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) technology into Torq's product suite.

Torq raised $112 million in 2024 alone, including a $70 million Series C round led by Evolution Equity Partners in September and a $42 million extension to its Series B in January. The company has raised $192 million since its founding in 2020 by Ofer Smadari, Leonid Belkind, and Eldad Livni—the same team behind Luminate Security, which was sold to Symantec for $250 million in 2019.

Torq's newest product, HyperSOC 2o, integrates Revrod’s technology to deliver what it claims is the industry's most advanced AI-powered Security Operations Center automation. The platform, now boasting multiple autonomous agents capable of investigation, case management, runbook execution, and remediation, is designed to shrink incident response times and scale up SOC efficiency without increasing headcount. According to Torq, early users are seeing investigation times slashed by 90% and alert throughput improved by 3-5x.

Revrod, founded by Eliya Elon and Noam Cohen, had remained in stealth until the acquisition. Despite limited public visibility, the company had made waves in the AI community for its agentic architectures and workflow models. Backed by Notable Capital and Hetz Ventures, it raised $6 million before being acquired. Its 15 employees will join Torq, where they'll continue to advance the company’s AI roadmap.

“With this acquisition, and based on enterprise customer feedback, we’re confident Torq is 1.5 years ahead of our competition in delivering true autonomy for security operations,” said Ofer Smadari, CEO and co-founder of Torq. “Revrod’s technology fundamentally changes what’s possible in a SOC. By integrating it into Torq HyperSOC 2o, we’re giving our customers the tools to operate faster and smarter than ever before.”
