ORLANDO, FL, June 4, 2025 – As FifthWall unveils UKON, its bold, new rebrand and cyber insurance risk platform, one factor behind the company’s momentum is getting well-earned recognition: its people. Many of the minds driving UKON’s innovation have trained with the Cyber Insurance Academy, the only cyber insurance education provider accredited worldwide.
With dozens of Certified Cyber Insurance Specialist (CCIS) graduates on their team, UKON is a shining example of what happens when technical innovation is paired with deep, structured cyber insurance knowledge.
“Cyber attacks are not a question of if but when. That is why we prioritize programs like Cyber Insurance Academy. It keeps our team sharp, informed, and fluent in the language of modern risk,” said Reid Wellock, President & COO of UKON. “At UKON, our people are the connective tissue between MSPs, agents, carriers, and CFOs stepping into the role of Cyber Risk Advisor.”
The CCIS program equips professionals with skills spanning cyber underwriting, threat analysis, incident response, and policy strategy. UKON’s decision to invest in this level of training reflects a broader shift across the industry – from reactive selling to proactive cyber risk advising.
“UKON’s success demonstrates what we’ve always believed: the strongest cyber insurance offerings are built on a foundation of education,” said Guy Simkin, CEO and Co-Founder of the Cyber Insurance Academy. “We’re proud to have supported their team’s development, and to see them applying that expertise in ways that push the entire market forward.”
As cyber insurance leaders like UKON continue to lead on both product innovation and professional excellence, the Cyber Insurance Academy remains committed to closing the industry’s knowledge gap, one specialist at a time.
