Give Your Agency A Cyber Department (Without the Headcount): Meet UKON

Small and midsize businesses are facing an exploding scale of digital risk, but for most independent insurance agencies, cyber remains an opaque, technical, and uncomfortable line to lead with.

Agencies know their clients need protection, but building a dedicated cyber practice from scratch is expensive, time-consuming, and hard to operationalize. That’s where Catalyit Premium Solution Provider UKON comes in.

UKON (formerly FifthWall Solutions) is the Cyber Practice Operating System for independent agencies. Instead of functioning as just another marketplace or generalist carrier, UKON serves as the agency’s fully outsourced cyber department. They provide the infrastructure needed to turn cyber insurance into a standard, repeatable capability, empowering your producers to confidently sell cyber coverage to your end-clients.

Why UKON?

The market doesn’t need more cyber wholesalers or cyber quotes; it needs a system that makes cyber an easy-to-lead, trusted line of business. UKON provides agencies with the instant capacity of a specialized cyber department through a powerful blend of AI and human expertise.

• AI is the Engine: UKON’s technology manages the heavy lifting, organizing data, extracting insights from complex policies, and drafting initial strategies.
• Elite Experts are the Supervisors: Seasoned cyber subject matter experts provide oversight, handle technical edge cases, and even act as your agency’s extension for co-selling and carrier advocacy.
• The Agency is the Owner: UKON builds and runs the infrastructure, but your agency maintains the client relationship and provides the specialized advice.

Benefits for Independent Agents

Partnering with UKON offers several key benefits to help you protect, retain, and grow your commercial book:

• An Outsourced Cyber Practice Leader: A dedicated internal Cyber Practice Leader can cost an agency $150,000 to $250,000 a year to hire. UKON acts as your out-of-the-box cyber department with zero upfront cost. Their model is commission-aligned, meaning they only make money when you make money.
• Better Protection for Your Clients: For an SMB, a cyber attack isn’t just an IT problem – it’s a survival problem. UKON helps you close the “Cyber Protection Gap” by giving your producers client-facing tools, risk reports, and talk tracks to confidently navigate modern cyber exposures and secure the right coverage for their clients.
• Standardized Workflows and Reduced E&O Exposure: Cyber shouldn’t be a collection of carrier portals and guesswork. UKON provides purpose-built intake, guided data collection, and clear side-by-side policy comparisons with defensible rationales for carrier recommendations. This structured approach gives your agency underwriting discipline and a defensible record, reducing your own E&O exposure while better protecting the clients who rely on you.

These days, cyber risk isn’t optional – it’s foundational. With UKON, independent agents gain access to the specialized infrastructure they need so they can boldly tell their clients: “Cyber Peace of Mind.”
