We've been watching defense contractors get sold policies that don't work. It's not because brokers are dishonest. The market just wasn't built for what CMMC actually requires. ❌ CUI handling ❌ Supply chain liability ❌ False Claims Act exposure ❌ IR teams that need DFARS fluency, not just ransomware playbooks Standard cyber and Tech E&O policies exclude most of this. Or they respond until the claim gets filed and someone reads the fine print. So we built something different. UKON's CMMC program for defense contractors. ✅ Real coverage for government contract environments ✅ IR built for regulated scenarios ✅ Pre-claim legal and forensic retainers at zero cost ✅ Supply chain visibility before a C3PAO finds the gaps We build where the market has structural gaps. Cyber insurance trusted by over 1,500+ businesses. Defense contractors and MSPs operating in the DIB: we built this for you. 30-minute Insurance Review. Zero cost. Commission-aligned.

Walt Rowen said no to a $1M ransom. He had cyber insurance. It still cost him $100,000 to get back to normal. Only 1 in 4 small businesses carry coverage. Read More: ow.ly/uucL50YPulY

🚨 72% of SMBs paid the ransomware tax in 2024. AI attacks up 89% YoY. Fastest breakout: 27 sec. Avg U.S. breach: $10.22M (IBM 2025). The problem isn't awareness. It's infrastructure. UKON = the Cyber Practice OS for agencies & MSPs. Read the latest from Risk & Reward: ow.ly/ZoGN50YNNXo

Every trail on the cyber frontier runs through the same terrain. Different starting points, same exposure. 5 software packages. 12 days. Over half a million credentials stolen. And cyber insurance premiums fell 11% last year. Our president Reid Wellock sat down with Andrew Morgan for the latest issue of Cyber Clarity for MSPs and said what needed saying.

A client had $15K stolen through a web form last month. Cyber coverage paid it. The business survived. Meanwhile agents tell us weekly their clients "just aren't asking about cyber." Stop waiting for your clients to ask. Lead. New piece on client relations, including UKON's MSPAlliance program + E&O exposure. ow.ly/S9tZ50YzgtK #cyberinsurance #MSP #independentagents #cybersecurity

Most commercial agencies have more than 80% of their book with zero cyber coverage. The clients are not the problem. Munich Re's 2026 survey found that nine out of ten executives already know they are inadequately protected. What they do not have is a producer who shows up to the renewal conversation prepared to do something about it. Coalition's 2026 Cyber Claims Report puts the average ransomware loss at $269,000. Cybersecurity Ventures puts annual cybercrime losses at $10.5 trillion. The entire global cyber insurance market, per the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), covers $15 billion of that. The math is not complicated. The workflow just was never built.

A bot flooded a client's web form with fake applications. Payments went out. $15,000 gone before anyone noticed. The policy covered it. Most wouldn't. Zero Day Clock shows the median time to exploit a vulnerability has gone from 771 days to zero. This is what that looks like inside a real commercial book. The coverage question every agent needs to answer before the next renewal: ukonriskreward.substack.com/p/web-form-bot…

Your commercial clients are the business owners who told Mark Cuban they didn't need a computer. You already know what happened to them. Cloudflare documented 230 billion cyber threats in a single day in March 2026. The White House named small businesses as primary targets in its new national cyber strategy. Most of the businesses in the average commercial agency book still have no meaningful coverage. The gap between what they face and what they carry is the Cyber Protection Gap. It is not a prospecting problem. The clients are already there. New piece in Risk and Reward on what that means for independent agencies right now, and what the ones closing the gap are doing differently.

Last week, both Cloudflare and the White House published landmark reports. What they say together should change how every independent agency talks about cyber. Our latest feature in Risk & Reward puts both reports on the same page and draws one conclusion every independent agency should read before their next renewal conversation.

Ten years after our founding as FifthWall Solutions, UKON is sharpening its focus. Cyber insurance requires clear ownership inside distribution. Today, we formalized leadership across two critical functions to bring greater discipline to how cyber is placed, aligned and managed. Will Brooks has been elevated to Vice President of Wholesale. Andy Runyan, CCIS, steps into the role of Head of Cybersecurity Risk Services. "Together, they strengthen the connective structure the market has been missing," said Matt Hightower, UKON CEO. Will leads disciplined placement strategy and carrier alignment inside the agency channel. Andy ensures security posture, insurability standards and Tech E&O and Cyber Liability alignment operate upstream and in coordination. Brooks, a 2025 CRN Best of the Channel finalist for MSP Channel Chief, helped build UKON's MSP channel foundation that Runyan now formally leads, including the recently launched partnership with MSPAlliance.

Cyber lives between the agent, the MSP, and the carrier. When no one owns the workflow, friction follows. The Cyber Distribution Gap is real, and it is costing agents leverage, MSPs alignment, and carriers clarity. Read the piece. Watch the clip. Connect with UKON to learn how cyber fits under one roof.

Right of Boom confirmed what most MSPs already feel. Detection is table stakes. Liability is the real conversation. When incidents hit, dashboards don’t get audited. Contracts do. Coverage does. Your response does. We broke down what shifted in Vegas and why MSP–agent alignment now decides who survives the claim. From Detection to Liability.

Right of Boom is where MSP liability gets real. Ahead of Reid Wellock’s sessions tomorrow and Friday with Eric Tilds here in Vegas, Reid sat down with Bob Miller to preview the sessions. The conversation explains why Tech E&O is not cyber insurance, why coverage often fails in practice, and why MSPs and agents have to align early if protection is going to hold up under pressure.

Right of Boom kicks off this week and UKON is on the ground for the first time since our rebrand from FifthWall Solutions last year. We’ll be on stage and at the booth talking about the part of cyber risk most people avoid. Tech E&O alignment. Coverage that sounds good until an incident hits. Liability that quietly breaks when contracts, controls, and policy language are out of sync. If you are an MSP or advisor trusted with real risk, come find us. Booth 86.

One week out from Right of Boom, the UKON team is heading to Las Vegas. MSPs manage risk every day. What’s less clear is how that risk shows up in contracts, policy language, and Tech E&O. Bob Miller’s interview with Reid Wellock tees up a UKON session co-hosted with Eric Tilds focused on that exact tension and why alignment matters long before anything breaks. 👇 Watch. Read. Then decide if you really know where your exposure sits. Read the blog: ukonriskreward.substack.com/p/right-of-boo…

If you’re an MSP with cyber insurance but no Tech E&O review, you’re guessing. Cyber insurance transfers risk. Tech E&O defines responsibility. Most MSPs don’t know where theirs actually lands. We broke it down in the latest Cyber Peace of Mind webinar. Run a free Tech E&O Review: ow.ly/8Ap850Y3YB8

There’s a difference between risk and surprise. The Cyber Peace of Mind webinar surfaced a hard truth: Tech E&O is one of the most misunderstood policies in the MSP world, and that misunderstanding shows up at the worst possible moment. Read the latest feature at Risk & Reward to break down what was said, why it matters now, and how alignment between MSPs, agents, and underwriting is finally starting to take shape through the work between UKON and MSPAlliance If you insure MSPs or run one, the insight from Reid Wellock, Will Brooks, and Travis Kroger is worth your time. 📖 Read the feature: ow.ly/OzuF50Y1aNl
