A managed IT firm expands its UAE footprint with a fresh Abu Dhabi base. Abacus Group, providing managed and security services to regulated industries, opened an office in Abu Dhabi's financial hub. This move follows a prior entry into Dubai, establishing a physical presence in both major cities to support the national financial services sector with localized expertise.
Their new location sits inside the Abu Dhabi Global Market, a financial center recognized for its robust regulatory framework. Company leadership cited sustained demand from investment managers and global firms establishing operations within the UAE. The region's advanced regulatory environment attracts entities needing strong technology and cybersecurity support.
Managing Director for EMEA Tom Cole described Abu Dhabi as a strategic step, highlighting its capital access, supportive regulations, and available talent. He stated that Abacus can deliver the required IT and security capabilities for financial firms through local teams. Services from the office include managed IT, multi-cloud solutions, and comprehensive cybersecurity offerings.
The firm will provide its abacusFlex solution alongside specialized emergency response and red team testing services. A focus involves collaborating with regulators and enhancing threat intelligence sharing across its global network. These efforts aim to help clients meet specific compliance requirements while building defenses against evolving cyber threats.
