KYND has announced a strategic partnership with Converge, aimed at strengthening cyber insurance underwriting through advanced external cyber risk intelligence. The collaboration is designed to help Converge manage high volumes of submissions more efficiently while improving the consistency and accuracy of underwriting decisions as part of its broader digital transformation strategy. Under the agreement, KYND will provide visibility into vulnerabilities across internet-facing assets, enabling Converge to assess cyber risk more effectively at scale. By integrating KYND’s intelligence into its underwriting workflows, Converge aims to accelerate decision-making while maintaining strong risk discipline across its growing portfolio.

A key component of the partnership is the deployment of KYND’s Signals reports, which use a traffic-light system to identify and prioritize critical vulnerabilities. These reports are intended to support underwriters in evaluating risk while also equipping brokers with clear, actionable insights they can share with clients. Converge will also leverage KYND’s rapid vulnerability scanning capabilities to assess risk in near real time, particularly for high-volume small and medium-sized business (SMB) portfolios. This allows underwriters to evaluate exposures at the point of quote, improving speed without sacrificing accuracy. For more complex or higher-risk cases, the platform provides deeper analysis, along with continuous monitoring across the policy lifecycle.

In addition, KYND’s Zero-Day Event Response service will give Converge early visibility into emerging threats and actively exploited vulnerabilities. This capability is expected to help insurers respond more quickly to developing risks that could lead to significant financial exposure.

Ben Duffy, Vice President and Head of North America Sales at KYND, described the partnership as a significant step forward in modernizing cyber insurance underwriting. He noted that Converge’s focus on growth and innovation makes it well suited to adopt next-generation risk intelligence solutions.

Andrew Shaughnassy, Director of Cyber Solutions at Converge, emphasized that the company’s goal is to achieve sustainable and profitable growth in the cyber insurance market. He highlighted that integrating real-time risk intelligence directly into underwriting processes allows teams to make faster, more consistent decisions at scale.

The partnership is expected to enhance Converge’s ability to scale its underwriting operations while maintaining strong risk visibility and control By combining automation with actionable intelligence, both companies aim to support a more efficient and resilient approach to cyber insurance in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
