KYND, a cyber risk analytics provider, has been appointed by Converge, a US-based cyber insurance MGA, to support the expansion of its digital underwriting platform and growth strategy.
The partnership will see KYND provide external cyber risk intelligence to help Converge manage high submission volumes and strengthen underwriting at scale. The move follows a technical evaluation and aligns with Converge’s broader digital transformation roadmap.
KYND’s platform enables insurers to identify vulnerabilities across internet-facing systems, supporting faster and more consistent underwriting decisions while enabling continuous risk monitoring throughout the policy lifecycle.
As part of the agreement, Converge will deploy KYND’s Signals reports, which use a traffic-light system to highlight critical vulnerabilities and prioritise mitigation actions. The reports are designed to support underwriters while providing brokers with clearer insights to share with clients.
Underwriters will also use KYND’s rapid vulnerability scanning tools for high-volume SMB portfolios, enabling near real-time risk assessment at the point of quote. Additional capabilities include deeper analysis for higher-risk cases and continuous portfolio monitoring.
KYND’s Zero-Day Event Response service will provide support during actively exploited vulnerabilities, offering visibility into emerging threats that may present significant loss exposure.
Ben Duffy, Vice President and Head of North America Sales, KYND, said, “This partnership represents a major milestone in the adoption of next-generation cyber risk intelligence within digital underwriting. Converge is an ambitious, high-growth MGA shaping the future of cyber insurance. Being chosen as their strategic data partner reinforces KYND’s position as an ideal collaborator for modern, automated underwriting environments.”
Andrew Shaughnassy, Director of Cyber Solutions, Converge, said, “We are aiming to become the first profitable cyber insurtech in our space, and KYND gives our underwriters real-time risk intelligence at the submission volumes our growth requires. Ultimately, sustainable growth in cyber insurance comes down to underwriting discipline and this risk intelligence integrates directly into our workflow, giving our team faster, more consistent decisions at scale.”
The partnership is expected to strengthen Converge’s ability to scale underwriting operations while maintaining discipline and improving risk visibility across its cyber insurance portfolio.
