BOXX Insurance

What BOXX Insurance does

BOXX Insurance Inc. is a Toronto-headquartered cyber insurtech founded in 2018 and acquired by Zurich Insurance Group in July 2025, where it continues to operate as a standalone entity. The company underwrites and distributes all-in-one cyber insurance and protection products targeting three primary segments: small businesses (Cyberboxx Business), individuals and families (Cyberboxx Home), and technology companies (Tech E&O by BOXX). Every policy bundles Cyberboxx Assist, which includes Attack Surface Management, Dark Web Monitoring, credit monitoring (via Equifax Complete Premier), and access to the in-house Hackbusters 24/7 breach response team, supplemented by Virtual vCISO advisory services. Underlying technical capabilities draw on the 2022 acquisition of Templarbit, which integrated threat intelligence software for continuous monitoring of hacker chatter, dark web exposures, and supply chain vulnerabilities, with AI applied to text analysis of dark web forums and structured underwriting data.
