This expansion introduces KYND’s innovative and simplified approach to cyber risk analysis to a new market, addressing the insurance industry’s need for actionable cyber risk exposure insights as cybercrime intensifies in the nation.

The launch of KYND in the U.S. is driven by the increasing demand for effective cyber risk mitigation solutions.

We help cyber insurers and brokers assess and understand the cyber risk profile of individual organisations and the exposures within their portfolios through our simple, actionable platform.”

The firm’s product offers a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to meet the diverse needs of insurers, underwriters, and brokers.

It enables them to price policies accurately, avoid adverse selection by identifying vulnerabilities that lead to losses, streamline multilingual reports, and access transparent, actionable risk insights instead of scores.

KYND’s U.S. launch is particularly timely given the recent CrowdStrike tech outage, which highlighted the vulnerabilities that can be exploited by cybercriminals.

“Insurers are most certainly preparing for an influx of claims, and KYND partners can prepare for what’s to come with fast analysis of their exposure to this global event across their portfolios.”
