BOXX Insurance Announces Cyberboxx® Assist - Cutting-Edge Cyber Services that Build Digital Resilience Amongst Businesses and Homes
This brand new offering will provide all Cyberboxx policy holders access to market-leading tools and services to keep their businesses and homes safe from cyber incidents. Cyberboxx Assist is included within all Cyberboxx Business and Cyberboxx Home policies – further enhancing the most comprehensive cyber policy in the Canadian marketplace.
"These cyber security features, embedded within a Cyberboxx Home or Business policy increases digital resilience and showcases BOXX's commitment to being a proactive partner that reduces threat exposures, claims and losses for their clients, brokers and partners," said Jonathan Weekes, President Canada. "By bundling these features with broad policy coverages, BOXX makes it easy for our brokers and partners to seamlessly service their clients and reduce the fallouts from cyber risks."
Today's small businesses are hacked at higher rates than big corporations and they don't have the budgets for a 24/7 cyber security team. With features like Attack Surface Management (ASM), personalized threat intelligence, identity monitoring, cyber training and security policies, businesses are equipped with the tools to stay ahead of cyber threats. Cyberboxx Assist also includes 24/7 access to real cyber security experts and a virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) to assess risks and develop bespoke strategies to protect small businesses from evolving cyber threats.
"Pairing cyber protection and prevention services with your insurer is a win-win, as there's a shared interest to reduce the likelihood of a claim. Cyberboxx Assist, paired with our enhanced policy terms specifically addresses the real exposures small businesses face – like cloud outages and supply chain risks," said Neal Jardine, Chief Cyber Intelligence and Claims Officer.
"Most small businesses rely on platforms like Microsoft 365, cloud backups and SaaS tools to be operational. If those go down, so does their business," he continued. "BOXX's all-in-one approach to cyber insurance and protection won't leave clients and brokers hanging when the cloud fails," Jardine added.
Cyberboxx Assist can also be sold on its own or white-labeled through affinity or group channels as many industries, particularly banking, insurance, telecommunications and travel are integrating cyber protection offerings into their products to keep their customers safe online. Customers now expect large brands to protect their data while they transact online – and recent data shows that over 89% of Canadian consumers believe that companies need to enhance protections against digital risks like online fraud and ID theft.
"A new trend we're seeing is that major brands and service providers are looking to provide cyber services to their customers by replicating our predict and prevent approach. They don't have the technology and expertise to put this in place, and BOXX strategically fills this gap in an easy to use and accessible solution that fits within their existing customer experiences," added Weekes.
Cyberboxx Assist's full suite of offerings for brokers, partners and consumers can be accessed at www.boxxinsurance.com.

Sangfor's customer-first innovation and unified SASE architecture deliver real-world impact across APAC. SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 14, 2025 /CNW/ -- Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that Sangfor has been awarded the 2025 APAC Company of the Year Recognition in the secure access service edge (SASE) industry for its outstanding achievements in innovation, customer impact, and strategic market execution. This recognition highlights Sangfor's consistent leadership in driving measurable outcomes, strengthening its market position, and delivering customer-centric innovation in an evolving competitive landscape. Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. Sangfor excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align strategic initiatives with market demand while executing them with efficiency, consistency, and scale. "Sangfor's strong regional partner ecosystem, which includes value-added resellers (VARs), managed service providers (MSPs), system integrators (SIs), and telecom operators, further enhances the customer experience.

Its Athena SASE platform is built on a unified architecture that integrates key security components—zero trust network access (ZTNA), secure web gateway (SWG), firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS), data loss protection (DLP), and endpoint secure access (ESA)—within a single-agent model. This eliminates the complexity of managing fragmented tools and accelerates time-to-value, particularly for SMEs. "We're honored to be recognized by Frost & Sullivan for excellence in the SASE market. Sangfor Athena SASE is designed to address the evolving challenges of today's cybersecurity landscape—supporting distributed, cloud-first enterprises, enabling scalability and agility, and delivering superior performance with stronger security. Our vision is to make Athena SASE the industry's leading one-stop cloud security solution, with upcoming enhancements such as Zero Trust Data Access, CASB capabilities, and an expanded PoP network to provide even greater protection and reach." — Darren Du, Vice President of Sangfor International Market Sangfor's unwavering commitment to customer experience further strengthens its market position.

Hullo Celebrates Two Years of Connecting Coasts, Fueled by 40% Year-Over-Year Growth in Passengers
NANAIMO, BC and VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 14, 2025 /CNW/ - Two years after welcoming its first passengers on August 16, 2023, Hullo is celebrating a significant milestone, marking its second anniversary of transforming travel across the Georgia Strait. With an impressive 40% year-over-year growth, the fast-ferry service has cemented its role in making life easier and more connected for British Columbians. Hullo's mission from day one was to simplify travel, save people time, and give them the freedom to enjoy both sides of the coast. "Every day, we see how we're helping people see family and friends more often and have new adventures," says Sekhar Angepat, Founder and Chief Revenue Officer at Hullo. "Our goal wasn't to simply redistribute travellers from traditional services, but to grow the entire travel market. By creating new possibilities like same-day event trips, we're enabling journeys that people simply weren't making before. The stories we hear from our passengers confirm we're on the right track." The service has unlocked a variety of travel possibilities, changing the way people think about crossing the Strait. For eventgoers, Hullo has become a game-changer. With over 170 late-night event sailings to date, individuals can now catch their favourite sports teams and concerts in the city and travel back in comfort the same night, saving on costly hotel stays. Hullo's downtown-to-downtown connectivity has opened up new possibilities for a wide range of British Columbians. It has become a vital new option for over 50,000 families, enabling spontaneous, same-day adventures and making it even easier to connect with loved ones more frequently. This accessibility is also a key benefit for seniors seeking a seamless travel option and for hybrid workers who now have the freedom of island life with a fast, affordable link to their downtown offices. Furthermore, by integrating with local transit and TransLink, Hullo helps all riders reach their final destinations, including Vancouver International Airport (YVR), without the expense and hassle of a personal vehicle. Arriving in Nanaimo is just as easy, with on-site access to public transit, a complimentary Hullo shuttle bus, rental cars, bike share, and ride-hailing services like Uber now available. "The stories we hear from our passengers are the true measure of our success," says Ryan Dermody, Interim CEO. "When we hear about a grandmother being able to take her grandkids to the aquarium for a quick day trip, or professionals redefining their work week, we know we're making a real difference in people's lives every day. We're incredibly proud of the role we play in connecting communities and are more committed than ever to improving and expanding our service." Two years in, Hullo's reliability is clear. Since launch, the company has operated more than 95% of its planned sailings, and since September 2024, 90% of departures have gone out within 5 minutes. The company is building on this momentum as it continues to refine its operations for customers. Hullo is a modern, fast-ferry service providing a crucial link between Downtown Vancouver and Nanaimo. With a focus on speed, comfort, and reliability, Hullo is committed to transforming the way people travel across the Salish Sea.
