Abacus Group, an IT Managed Services Provider (MSP) and Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) for highly regulated industries, has opened a new office in Abu Dhabi, expanding its presence in the Middle East.

The move follows the company’s recent expansion into Dubai and forms part of its growth strategy in the UAE.

Together, the two offices allow Abacus to support a wide range of financial services firms across the country and provide local access to IT and cybersecurity expertise.

The Abu Dhabi office is located within the ADGM.

The UAE’s regulatory framework and growing market demand continue to attract both emerging managers and established global firms.

Abacus plans to maintain close collaboration with regulators and share threat intelligence, supported by its global cybersecurity capabilities, including incident response and red teaming.

Tom Cole, Managing Director of EMEA at Abacus Group, said:

“Opening in Abu Dhabi is the natural next step in Abacus’s strategic expansion across the UAE. The city has established itself as a major international hub for asset managers and the wider financial services sector, offering unparalleled access to capital, a supportive regulatory environment and a rich talent pool.”

From ADGM, Abacus will provide managed IT, multi-cloud, and cybersecurity services, including the abacusFlex solution, emergency response, and red team offerings, to help firms meet regulatory requirements and strengthen cybersecurity defences.
