Overview

uSecure is an automated human risk management platform designed for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and internal IT teams. The software simplifies employee cybersecurity awareness by combining automated phishing simulations, bite-sized training courses, policy compliance tracking, and dark web monitoring into a single dashboard. It provides continuous visibility into human cyber risks, allowing organizations to pinpoint vulnerabilities and foster a security-first culture. Businesses globally rely on uSecure to reduce human error and protect against evolving cyber threats.

Founder story

Recognizing that employees remain the weakest link in corporate security defenses, Preston set out to build a streamlined platform that replaces complex compliance checklists with automated behavioral change. After years of bootstrapped growth, the company secured institutional funding to accelerate its global expansion.
