Torq acquires AI security startup Jit to add context graphs to its security operations center platform

Autonomous security operations company Torq Ltd. today announced that it has acquired Jit.io Ltd., a cybersecurity startup whose technology generates AI-driven context graphs to inform security investigations, for an undisclosed price.

Founded in 2021, Jit started as a security-as-code platform provider aimed at developers. Its product bundled together the patchwork of application security and DevSecOps tools that engineering teams typically run separately and ran them automatically against the assets those teams already managed.

The company’s bundle included static analysis, software composition analysis, infrastructure-as-code scanning, secrets detection, container scanning and software bill of materials generation. The tools were run against code repositories, continuous integration pipelines, cloud assets and application programming interfaces.

Jit’s pitch was that developers, not a separate security team, should own product security and that the tooling needed to make that practical had to live inside the workflows engineers already used. Its customer base includes engineering-led organizations that used the platform to consolidate fragmented application security spending.

More recently, Jit has reoriented around AI agents and the underlying graph data structure that feeds them. The company’s AI Context Graph maps the relationships between code, identities, roles, privileges, data sensitivity and runtime behavior inside a given organization, with the aim of letting AI agents reason about risk in business terms rather than as a stream of disconnected alerts.

Torq plans to fold that technology into its AI SOC Platform. Where Torq’s existing agents reason over alerts and signals fed from third-party tools, Jit’s graph is intended to add an organization-specific layer underneath, giving those agents a fuller picture of what an alert means inside a particular enterprise rather than treating each event in isolation. Torq says the combination is intended to support autonomous containment and threat prevention with higher confidence than alert-driven workflows allow.

“Today’s announcement is more than an acquisition, it’s a defining moment for Torq and the future of security operations,” said Torq co-founder and Chief Executive Ofer Smadari. “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.”

The acquisition follows Torq’s $140 million Series D in January at a $1.2 billion valuation and comes just over a year after its purchase of Israeli startup Revrod, which was folded into Torq HyperSOC 2o. The deals fit a broader pattern of bolting acquired engineering teams and reasoning components onto an agentic security operations center platform Torq has been building out aggressively.

Coming into its acquisition, Jit had raised $46.7 million in funding, according to PitchBook. Investors in the company included Boldstart Ventures, Insight Partners, Tiger Global Management, TechAviv, Lama and Cyberstarts.
