Insurance firm BOXX bought out by Zurich Insurance Group in acquisition deal
In a significant move, BOXX Insurance Inc., a leading global cyber insurance and risk management insurtech firm, has been acquired by Zurich Insurance Group on July 3, 2025. Despite the acquisition, BOXX continues to operate as a standalone brand, now integrated into Zurich Global Ventures (ZGV), a platform focused on innovation and digital-first insurance solutions.
The acquisition aims to accelerate the growth of cyber insurance offerings for retail and small-to-medium enterprise (SME) sectors worldwide. This integration complements Zurich's existing global business lines in Life Protection, Employee Benefits, and Travel.
BOXX's digital and service-centric model supports enhanced customer engagement and the delivery of value-adding, tailored cyber insurance solutions aligned to retail and B2B2E (business-to-business-to-employee) markets. Since its founding in 2018, BOXX has grown rapidly by focusing on comprehensive, technologically advanced cyber protection products emphasizing prediction, prevention, and insurance against cyber risks.
The acquisition provides BOXX with the resources and global reach to accelerate its mission, combining strengths to provide customers with stronger digital world protection. BOXX's mission is to build digital resilience for individuals and businesses, and with Zurich, it aims to extend this protection to a broader customer base.
Based in Toronto, Canada, BOXX serves customers across five continents. As a global, award-winning provider of cyber protection services and cyber insurance cover, BOXX is known as the original all-in-one cyber insurance and protection company. It helps businesses, individuals, and families insure and defend against cyber threats, using ALL IN ONE Cyber Insurance + Protection.
The Hoskin & Harcourt LLP team advised BOXX on the acquisition, but the specifics of their advice were not disclosed. Hoskin & Harcourt LLP is a law firm that specializes in advising Emerging and High Growth Companies, as well as Tax matters.
Zurich Insurance Group, founded more than 150 years ago, serves more than 75 million customers in over 200 countries and territories.

In conclusion, BOXX's updated business structure is as a globally operating, digitally-driven cyber insurtech subsidiary within Zurich Global Ventures.
