KYND expands cyber risk analytics for insurers

KYND, a cyber risk intelligence provider, has introduced Portfolio Analytics, a new solution designed to help insurers better assess cyber exposure across their portfolios and make more informed risk management decisions.

The platform has been developed in response to increasing demand for greater transparency around cyber risk, as insurers face pressure to understand not only the vulnerabilities affecting policyholders but also how effectively those risks are being addressed.

Portfolio Analytics provides insurers with a portfolio-level view of cyber exposures, allowing teams to identify organisations affected by critical vulnerabilities, monitor unresolved risks and gain deeper insight into remediation activity.

KYND said the insurance market has traditionally relied on point-in-time assessments of cyber risk, but the growing speed of cyber threats means insurers require more continuous visibility into how exposures change.

The launch comes as cyber incidents continue to create wider operational and financial impacts for businesses. The 2025 Jaguar Land Rover cyber incident highlighted the potential scale of interconnected cyber events, with the attack estimated to have affected more than 5,000 UK organisations and resulted in a £1.9bn economic impact.

Supply-chain vulnerabilities are also becoming a growing concern for businesses. According to Chubb’s 2026 Cyber Claims Report, 65% of large companies now identify third-party and supply-chain risks as their biggest cyber challenge, compared with 54% the previous year.

KYND said Portfolio Analytics is designed to help insurers strengthen underwriting processes, identify concentrations of portfolio risk earlier and support more effective engagement with insured organisations.

KYND founder and CEO Andy Thomas said, “Growing expectations around active portfolio management present a particular challenge for cyber insurers, given the speed at which cyber risks can emerge and spread across interconnected organisations, suppliers and technology providers.

“For much of the last decade, cyber insurers have focused on understanding where risk exists across their portfolios, but the threat landscape has evolved.

“In an environment where a newly exploited vulnerability can turn into loss in minutes and a single event can create losses across multiple insured organisations, a point-in-time view of risk is no longer enough. Increasingly, insurers need to understand not only where exposure exists, but whether it is being reduced.

“Insurers need better ways to understand how risk is changing across their portfolios over time. Access to that insight can help them identify concentrations of risk earlier, engage more effectively with insureds and make better-informed decisions about portfolio exposure,” he said.
