usecure Secures Series A Investment

In a significant leap towards enhancing human risk management solutions, usecure, based in London, has successfully closed its Series A investment round with Kennet Partners, a renowned growth equity firm. This partnership is expected to bolster usecure's operational capabilities and accelerate its global expansion, aligning with the increasing demand for robust human risk management tools among Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and internal IT teams.

Founded in 2016, usecure has positioned itself as a vital player in the IT sector, addressing the growing need for organizations to tackle the human element of cyber security risks. The recent funding round marks a major milestone, as Charles Preston, the CEO and founder of usecure, emphasizes, "Our mission has always been clear — to become the global leader in human risk management for MSPs and IT teams. With Kennet's support and expertise in scaling SaaS businesses, we're ready to accelerate that journey."

The Rise of Human Risk Management

As cyber threats evolve, the human element remains a weak link in organizational defenses. Cyber-attacks increasingly target employees, making it imperative for businesses of all sizes to address human risk proactively. Usecure’s innovative solutions include tailored user training and risk analytics that equip organizations to create a culture of security awareness. Over 400,000 end users currently benefit from its user-friendly platform, which emphasizes education and proactive risk assessment.

This strategic investment comes from Kennet VI, a €266 million fund dedicated to scaling high-growth software companies. According to Alex Taylor-Harris, a Director at Kennet Partners, "We're excited to back usecure at a key point in its growth. Charles and the team have built an efficient, partner-first business tackling a real and growing market need. We’re looking forward to helping them scale globally."

Enhancing Product Offerings with New Investments

With the backing of Kennet Partners, usecure plans to invest in developing next-generation human risk management tools and behavior analytics, enhancing their capacity to meet complex organizational needs. This funding will enable the company to continue building on its achievements and provide more significant value to its partners, helping them counteract human cyber risks effectively.

Preston highlights the urgency of this investment, stating, "Our partner-first model is designed to meet the growing demand for improved security posture. We aim to empower our partners with a scalable, data-driven approach to reduce human error."

The investment signals strong confidence in usecure’s capacity to lead in the human risk management sector. With initiatives to expand its team across product development, engineering, and partner service delivery, usecure is poised to strengthen its position in the global market.

Recognitions and Future Roadmap

In 2025, usecure was honored with Pax8's 'Most Valuable Vendor – EMEA' award during the Beyond 2025 conference, a testament to its contributions to partner success in the channel. Its consistent recognition as a leader by G2 further showcases its commitment to offering effective solutions that inspire peer admiration.

As the landscape of cyber security continues to shift dramatically, the need for robust human risk management mechanisms is becoming increasingly crucial. Organizations are now looking towards solutions that not only address technology vulnerabilities but also empower their personnel to act as first responders against cyber threats. With its innovative platforms and now enhanced capabilities from the Series A funding, usecure is poised to be at the forefront of this transformative movement in cybersecurity.
