Cybersecurity firm Blackpoint Cyber and cyber insurance marketplace UKON have announced a new partnership aimed at redefining cyber risk management for managed service providers (MSPs).
Their Approach to Cyber Insurance
The partnership brings together Blackpoint’s 24/7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services with UKON’s embedded insurance tools and risk analytics. The companies say this integrated model enables real-time protection and more adaptive insurance coverage.
MSPs will now be able to respond to threats while simultaneously matching clients with tailored cyber insurance policies based on up-to-the-minute risk profiles.
Leaders Emphasize Mission Alignment
Blackpoint CFO Mike Yang said the partnership reflects a shared focus on resilience and scalability. “Our partnership with UKON is a natural extension of Blackpoint’s mission,” said Yang. “We’re delivering a smarter, more scalable approach to cyber risk that combines operational defense with financial resilience.”
UKON’s CEO Cole Knuth highlighted Blackpoint’s credibility and expertise. “Blackpoint is not just another partner,” Knuth said. “They bring reputation, rigor, and reach. Their track record in real-world defense speaks for itself.”

The companies say the collaboration will help MSPs elevate their role in client strategy, offering protection that is not just reactive but forward-looking and financially sound.
