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.
