Torq REV Gives Channel Partners an Unfair Advantage Against Legacy SOC Vendors in the $600B AI Market

New Torq Revenue Enablement Velocity (REV) program empowers resellers, GSIs, MSSPs, and MDRs with 100% services margin protection guarantee and 100% channel ownership

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Torq, the established agentic security operations leader, today launched Torq REV (Revenue Enablement Velocity), a channel growth platform designed to give partners an unfair advantage in the AI SOC market. As enterprises abandon legacy SOC technologies for AI-native Security Operations, Torq REV equips resellers, global systems integrators, MSSPs, and MDRs with a 100% services margin protection guarantee, 100% channel ownership, specific rebate tiers, and deal protection. With partners able to go from signed to selling in as little as 10 days, Torq REV turns one of cybersecurity’s biggest technology shifts into a repeatable growth engine. Torq REV builds on Torq’s dramatic partner success with 150% year-over-year channel revenue growth since 2025. Torq's channel ecosystem includes world-class enterprise partners, such as Carahsoft, Cybersellex, GuidePoint Security, Infinigate, Merlin Cyber, Optiv, Saepio Solutions, RSM, UltraViolet Cyber, and WWT.

The launch comes as AI SOC adoption reaches an inflection point. Enterprises are replacing fragmented AI tools with unified AI SOC platforms that automate the threat lifecycle while keeping analysts in control. For the channel, that shift represents one of the largest cybersecurity opportunities in more than a decade. Torq is already driving a channel-led motion around Auto Triage, giving partners a high-value entry point into the SOC and customers immediate visibility into the top of the funnel—what matters, what is noise, and why. Partners can demonstrate measurable value by reducing alert volume and analyst workload, then expand into investigation, response, remediation, and managed services. Yet unproven AI SOC vendors are attempting to bypass partners by selling managed services directly to customers. Torq REV takes a radically different approach: partners own the customer relationship, deliver the services, and capture the long-term value created by AI-driven Security Operations.

“AI SOC is the fastest-growing market in cybersecurity, but not every vendor believes partners should benefit from that growth,” said Ofer Smadari, CEO and co-founder, Torq. “Some companies are replacing the channel with their own managed services businesses. We believe exactly the opposite. Our partners are the force that transforms enterprise security, and Torq REV was purpose-built to help them win more deals, build larger services practices, and lead the AI SOC transition.”

“What really stood out to me about Torq was how quickly the value resonated with the customer,” said Daniel Palmer, Client Director, Optiv. “Torq saw the opportunity to use automation and AI to simplify complex security operations, improve efficiency, and ultimately help teams focus on what matters most. It has been incredibly rewarding to help bring Torq into an enterprise environment and to see the excitement around what’s possible. I’m proud to have played a role in bringing the two organizations together and look forward to seeing the impact this partnership will have.”

"World Wide Technology has long helped partners translate new technology into durable outcomes for customers, and Torq REV extends that same rigor to the AI SOC market,” said Mike McGlynn, Chief Information Security Officer, WWT. “We've felt that value firsthand. Torq's AI and automation technology has strengthened WWT's own security operations team, and that's exactly why we're excited to see REV bring the same results to more of our customers.”

“Our strategy is simple,” continued Smadari. “We don’t compete with our partners for services revenue—we create more of it. Every AI SOC deployment creates opportunities for transformation consulting, implementation, managed services, optimization, and long-term customer success. When our partners grow, Torq grows.”
