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.

Nabla Bio, a Harvard spin‑out founded in 2020, is developing an AI‑driven platform that automatically completes biologics designs while preserving manufacturability. The technology, created in George Church’s lab, targets the persistent bottleneck of translating complex protein candidates into scalable therapeutics. By integrating generative modeling with production constraints, Nabla aims to deliver push‑button design cycles for hard‑to‑target molecules. The company positions itself among a growing cohort of AI‑enabled protein engineers seeking faster, cheaper drug pipelines.
