The collaboration will provide DUAL with KYND’s advanced cyber risk intelligence and monitoring capabilities, enabling the MGA to enhance its underwriting process and deliver greater value to brokers and policyholders.
The partnership comes at a time when organisations are increasingly seeking protection against digital risks, and insurers are working to integrate proactive risk management into traditional coverage. Through the agreement, KYND will deliver several of its flagship solutions, including Portfolio Monitoring, which uses real-time visibility and behavioural analysis to assess the cyber health of insureds and mitigate potential losses. DUAL will also benefit from KYND Signals, which provides brokers with actionable insights to support clients both before and during coverage, and KYND ON, a continuous monitoring platform that alerts policyholders to emerging risks and offers remediation recommendations across the policy period.
Scott Sayce, Chief Innovation Officer at DUAL Group, said the partnership reflects the company’s focus on building resilience in the face of rapidly evolving cyber threats. “At DUAL, we know that such evolving risk requires more than just a policy, and the market needs to continue working towards a more dynamic approach to capacity management. The speed and ease of implementation, combined with KYND’s ability to tailor risk intelligence to our underwriting appetite, have been game-changing. KYND’s solutions not only help us and our broker partners act with speed and confidence, but they also add real value to our insureds by supporting their resilience across the policy period,” he said.
Andy Thomas, CEO and founder of KYND, said the company is proud to support DUAL’s ambitious cyber growth strategy. “DUAL’s global scale and bold vision for the future of cyber make this partnership especially significant for us. We’re proud to be chosen as their trusted cyber risk intelligence partner, and to deliver the tools that help insurers, brokers and their clients thrive in an ever-changing digital risk landscape,” he said.
The move underscores the growing momentum in cyber insurance as MGAs and insurers increasingly look to combine proactive risk management with traditional coverage models in order to address the challenges of rising digital threats.
