Zurich Acquires BOXX, Boosting Its Cyber Protection Capabilities

Zurich Insurance Group has acquired BOXX to enhance its cyber protection capabilities. The Zurich BOXX acquisition supports strategic expansion in digital risk management.

BOXX will be integrated into Zurich Global Ventures (ZGV), accelerating its ambition to grow its cyber offering for retail and SME customers and expand the range of value-adding solutions with a global reach. BOXX will continue to operate under its brand. In addition to operating its own global businesses across Life Protection, Employee Benefits, and Travel, ZGV aims to deliver holistic, value-adding, and digital-first products and services – including those offered through BOXX – spanning prevention, protection, and recovery, and tailored to customers across retail and B2B2E. The Zurich BOXX acquisition builds on Zurich’s commitment to offering advanced cyber coverage and threat mitigation services.

Cara Morton, CEO Zurich Global Ventures, said: “We have had a very successful collaboration with BOXX since 2021, and I am thrilled to strengthen our partnership by welcoming BOXX to Zurich Global Ventures. BOXX’s digital-first, service-led approach will help us further enhance customer engagement and provide integrated solutions that make people’s everyday life easier.”

“Becoming part of Zurich provides us with the resources and global reach to accelerate our mission,” said Vishal Kundi, BOXX Insurance CEO and Co-Founder. “Combining the strengths of both organizations, will enable us to provide even more customers with the protection they need to navigate the digital world with confidence.”

Since its founding in 2018, BOXX has steadily expanded its geographic reach, now serving nearly one million customers across five continents. In November 2024, BOXX was recognized as ‘Insurtech of the Year’ by Insurance Business Canada.

With the Zurich BOXX acquisition completed, Zurich expands its global cyber footprint in response to rising digital threats.
