Torq eyes $50M buy of AI security startup Jit to build autonomous security agents
Cybersecurity unicorn Torq, valued at $1.2B after a recent $140M funding round, is in advanced talks to acquire Boston‑based AI security assistant Jit for roughly $50M. The combined platform aims to create autonomous “agentic security” agents that operate without human input, merging Torq’s command center with Jit’s automated tools.

AI blindness – the failure to verify data fitness for AI – is costing businesses billions as inaccurate outputs drive poor decisions. Research shows only 42% of executives fully trust AI‑generated insights, highlighting a widening trust gap. Legacy data tools, built for reporting, lack the real‑time, bias‑detection capabilities needed for machine‑learning pipelines. To unlock AI’s promise, organizations must build a continuous data‑trust framework that ensures completeness, consistency, and timeliness before models are deployed.
