Insurance people and security people, together.

UIG was set up to close the gap between how cyber risk really works and how it has traditionally been insured.

J. Ali Zwane, founder of UIG

Why we exist

UIG was founded in 2026 by J. Ali Zwane, who brings reinsurance underwriting and pricing experience from Africa Re.

That background shapes how we work: we price cyber risk on evidence of how a business actually runs, and we explain every number we put on a quote.

We are an Underwriting Managing Agent: we design, underwrite and administer our own cyber insurance product, written on behalf of [CARRIER NAME] under a binder agreement.

How we work

Evidence over assumptions

We price what we can see and verify, and we tell you what we saw.

Plain language

Every term comes with a reason a CFO, an IT lead and a broker can all follow.

There when it matters

Cover is only worth what happens after an incident. We design for that moment.
