The new product aims to provide comprehensive digital protection for individuals and families in Switzerland.
The user-friendly app, designed by Zurich Insurance and developed by BOXX Insurance, is now available in Switzerland and supports English, German, French, and Italian. This collaboration addresses the increasing need for robust protection against digital threats, offering a simple yet effective tool to help users predict and prevent potential scams and cyber risks.
The app’s personalized experience prioritizes users’ digital safety through an easy-to-use interface, reflecting the joint efforts of BOXX and Zurich to enhance cybersecurity measures for individuals and families.
This partnership highlights the commitment of both BOXX Insurance and Zurich Insurance Group to innovate and deliver state-of-the-art solutions in the fight against digital threats.
“We created this to give individuals and families what they want – an app that delivers an essential bundle of tools at users fingertips including access to experts in the event of a cyber emergency,” explained Vishal Kundi, CEO and Founder, BOXX Insurance. “Smartphones have become the fastest-selling gadgets in history. They have penetrated every aspect of daily life. The average person picks their phone up to 100 times a day so if we want to make their world a digitally safer place, we have to ensure their phone and their usage is better secured,” Kundi added.
“An extensive research conducted by Zurich Insurance in Switzerland showed that many are not aware of online dangers and that around a quarter have already been victims of a cyber-attack. In addition, customers are simply overwhelmed with the range of cyber products,” said René Harlacher, Chief Underwriting Officer of Zurich Insurance in Switzerland.
“At Zurich, it’s our mission to go beyond mere protection, and also offer our customers tools to help them build resilience and implement preventative measures against cyber risks. Based on these facts, we are expanding our cyber offering for private individuals so that we can provide them with support before, during and after a possible cyber-attack. This is exactly where our joint offering with BOXX Insurance comes in, as a way to lend additional support to our customers,” he added.
