usecure Secures Series A Investment to Boost Global Human Risk Management

On July 3, 2025, usecure, a leading company specializing in human risk management solutions for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and internal IT teams, announced the closure of its Series A funding round. This strategic investment was led by Kennet Partners, known for their expertise in funding fast-growing B2B SaaS businesses. This partnership aims to significantly accelerate usecure's global expansion and enhance its service offerings.

Founded in 2016, usecure has rapidly established itself as a trusted provider in the field of cyber risk management. With over 400,000 end users relying on its tailored training programs and human risk analysis, usecure plays a critical role in helping businesses combat human-centric cyber risks. These tools are made available via leading global distributors and cloud marketplaces, providing organizations with essential resources to strengthen their defenses against cyber threats.

Charles Preston, founder and CEO of usecure, expressed enthusiasm about the investment: "This marks a significant milestone for usecure, our team, and our partners. Our mission has always been clear: to become the leading provider of human risk management for MSPs and internal IT teams. With Kennet’s support and strategic expertise, we are poised to accelerate our transition, deliver greater value to our partners, and foster innovation that helps organizations fortify their human firewalls worldwide."

As the prevalence of cyberattacks escalates, organizations face mounting pressure to address the human elements of cybersecurity, often the weakest link in their defenses. usecure's partner-centric and accessible business model is designed to meet this rising demand, providing scalable, data-driven approaches to minimize human errors and enhance overall security posture.

Alex Taylor-Harris, Director at Kennet Partners, commented: "We are thrilled to support usecure at such a pivotal moment in its growth journey. Charles and his team have built a remarkably effective partner-focused business that addresses a genuine and growing market need. We look forward to helping them expand globally while solidifying their leadership position in the human risk management sector."

Noteworthy is usecure’s rapid growth and market impact, recognized through various industry accolades. In 2025, the company received the ‘Most Valuable Vendor – EMEA’ award from Pax8 at the Beyond 2025 conference, underscoring its commitment to empowering partners and ensuring the success of its distribution channels. Additionally, usecure consistently garners leadership recognition from G2, based on peer reviews that commend its user-friendly interface, partner-centric approach, and measurable impact on reducing human risks.

The investment from Kennet Partners will enable usecure to expedite its strategic growth plans, emphasizing product innovation with significant investments in next-generation human risk management and behavioral analytics tools. This strategic direction will empower more organizations to mitigate the risks posed by human error while enhancing their security frameworks.

Looking forward, the company will continue to bolster its team and expertise in product development, engineering, and partner-driven service delivery, thereby supporting its global expansion and delivering even greater value to its clients. Tony Bolland, a significant early investor, is now taking the role of Chairman, further reinforcing usecure’s upward trajectory.
