BOXX CEO Vishal Kundi said: “In a world impacted by major technological and societal disruptions, the expectations around cyber and privacy protection have never been more important.

Zurich Global Ventures CEO Says Jack Howell said: “BOXX’s prevention-led approach convinced us that they are building a winning business with the potential to actively shape cyber insurance for small to mid-sized businesses and consumers.

“The combination of their knowledge and Zurich’s global reach and international expertise is a win-win situation for Zurich customers and BOXX.”

SixThirty Ventures managing partner Atul Kamra said: “BOXX’s digital health tracker and cyber training platform allows consumers and businesses to improve their cyber hygiene practices, significantly reducing the chances of a breach from occurring in the first place.”
