BOXX looks to strengthen Zurich's ability to execute on their customer-focused strategy
Zurich Insurance Group announced a global collaboration with Toronto-based insurtech BOXX Insurance (BOXX), which provides fully-integrated cybersecurity and insurance solutions for small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMEs), consumers and families.
Technology has brought significant benefits to businesses and individuals – improving lifestyles and connecting people wherever they are in the world.
However, the increased adoption of digital business models has also led to growing cyber risks resulting in cyber-attacks, business disruption, loss of revenue and regulatory action on data protection.
Additionally, Zurich will also participate in BOXX’s Series A funding round to build a presence in the cyber SMEs and consumer space.
“We expect the innovation and capabilities of this collaboration with BOXX to strengthen our ability to execute on our customer-focused strategy and exceed the needs and expectations of our customers and partners around the world. BOXX’s prevention-led approach convinced us that they are building a winning business with the potential to actively shape cyber insurance for this customer segment.
They are an exciting business and passionate about making cyber security simple for customers by integrating tools and technology with insurance. The combination of their knowledge and Zurich’s global reach and international expertise is a win-win situation for Zurich’s customers and BOXX,” said Jack Howell, CEO of Zurich Global Ventures.
