BOXX Insurance Announces Cyberboxx® Assist - Cutting-Edge Cyber Services that Build Digital Resilience Amongst Businesses and Homes

Cision Canada21-05-2025

TORONTO, May 21, 2025 /CNW/ - BOXX Insurance, the original all-in-one cyber insurance and protection company today announced Cyberboxx ® Assist, a comprehensive suite of cyber security tools and services designed to help individuals and businesses predict, prevent and respond to cyber threats through risk assessments, compliance tools and 24/7 expert support from real cyber security experts.
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.

Alberta resumes buying U.S. alcohol, months after pause meant to fight tariffs

EDMONTON – Alberta is buying American alcohol and gambling machines again, three months after Premier Danielle Smith announced restrictions aimed at fighting back against U.S. tariffs. Service Alberta Minister Dale Nally says the move signals a 'renewed commitment to open and fair trade' with the United States. Smith said in March that the province would no longer buy U.S. alcohol and video lottery terminals, or sign contracts with American companies. That came a day after U.S. President Donald Trump slapped heavy tariffs on Canadian goods and energy. Nally says the decision to resume buying U.S. alcohol and gambling machines 'sets the stage for more constructive negotiations' ahead of a renewal of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade agreement. The minister says Albertans are encouraged to continue supporting local producers, even as more U.S. options return to store shelves. Nally said in April that the province was pausing its policy around procurement from U.S. companies 'in the spirit of diplomacy.' Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. He said since the province's retaliatory measures were first announced in early March, the Trump administration had put a hold on further tariffs. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 6, 2025.

Bringing Back the Buzz: The Social Evolution of Online Gaming

The transition from physical casino floors to digital platforms has fundamentally altered the gambling landscape. While online casinos offer unprecedented convenience and accessibility, many players yearn for the vibrant atmosphere that characterizes traditional brick-and-mortar establishments. The challenge for contemporary online gaming platforms centers on recreating that distinctive social energy which transforms casino visits from solitary activities into memorable communal experiences. Why Players in Canada Are Turning to Online Communities The rise of online gambling in Canada has opened up a world of convenience, variety, and privacy. But even the best bonuses and sleekest interfaces can't fully replace the energy of a live casino floor. That's where social features come into play. The roundup of the country's leading online casinos points to a growing trend: the most popular platforms are investing in more than just game variety?they?re building communities. Whether through Discord servers, multiplayer formats, or tournaments with built-in chat features, these options help Canadian players stay connected while gaming solo at home. Operators featured in ValueWalk's guide are increasingly offering robust social functions, including in-game communication and shared experiences. These tools serve not just to replicate the feeling of being surrounded by other players but to foster genuine interaction, competition, and even camaraderie. Live Dealer Games Bridge The Gap Live dealer games represent the most significant advancement in recreating authentic casino atmospheres within digital environments. These platforms connect players with professional dealers broadcasting from specialized studios, complete with high-definition cameras that capture every card shuffle and roulette wheel spin. The technology creates an immersive environment where players observe dealer expressions, hear the authentic sounds of chips and cards, and experience the genuine suspense of real-time gaming. Virtual Lounges Simulate Casino Environments Progressive online casinos have developed virtual lounge spaces where players gather between games. These digital environments simulate casino lobbies and waiting areas, providing dedicated spaces for casual conversation and social networking. Video chat capabilities allow players to see and speak with each other, creating face-to-face interactions that closely mirror physical casino encounters. Avatar Customization Enhances Personal Expression These virtual spaces often feature customizable avatars and personal profiles, allowing players to express their personalities and establish recognizable online identities. Some platforms incorporate virtual reality elements, enabling players to navigate three-dimensional casino environments and interact with other participants more naturally. The technology continues evolving to support larger group gatherings and special events that bring communities together. Discord Communities Connect Gaming Enthusiasts Many online casino enthusiasts have embraced platforms like Discord as gathering places for their gaming communities. These applications provide persistent chat rooms where players discuss strategies, share experiences, and coordinate group gaming sessions. Voice chat capabilities enable real-time conversations during gameplay, recreating the social commentary that naturally occurs around casino tables. Tournament Organization Fosters Competition These communities often organize tournaments, challenges, and special events that foster competitive camaraderie. Members share screenshots of significant wins, offer support during losing streaks, and celebrate collective achievements. The platform's integration with streaming services enables players to broadcast their gaming sessions, creating entertainment content while fostering audience engagement. Multiplayer Tables Encourage Strategic Thinking Multiplayer poker tables and tournament structures naturally encourage social interaction by bringing players together with common objectives. These formats require communication and strategic thinking that extends beyond individual gameplay decisions. Players develop reputations within gaming communities, form alliances, and engage in the psychological aspects of competitive gaming that define traditional casino poker rooms. Regular Tournaments Create Social Routines Tournament chat functions enable participants to discuss hands, analyze strategies, and build relationships that continue across multiple events. Regular tournament schedules create anticipation and foster routine social gatherings, much like weekly poker nights or monthly casino visits. The competitive element adds excitement while the social component maintains engagement between actual gaming activities. Social Media Integration Extends Connectivity Modern online casinos increasingly incorporate social media integration, allowing players to share achievements and invite friends to join gaming sessions. Mobile applications include about friends' activities and achievements, maintaining awareness of community members' gaming experiences. Some platforms offer gift-giving features, enabling players to send virtual tokens of appreciation or celebration to fellow participants. Augmented Reality Shapes Future Gaming Mobile casino apps are now introducing , which mixes digital content with the real world. Because of these technologies, people may soon be able to experience casino nights in their homes through virtual means, while remaining in touch with friends far away. Online casinos are committed to keeping gambling fun by developing social features. Although technology improves, socializing and interacting with others remain the primary factors that attract people, so digital platforms create new ways to replicate the charismatic atmosphere found in land-based casinos.
