Abacus Group, the leading Managed Services Provide to financial services firms with specialized cybersecurity expertise provided by Gotham Security, an Abacus Group company, unveils a revamp of its integrated IT and security solutions and services to meet the changing needs of the financial services industry.
The enhanced offering aims to provide firms with easy-to-select and comprehensible packages, which can be tailored to emerging firms, established and regulated firms, and sophisticated high-tech firms, as well as providing guidance on what is regulator and investor-friendly. This one-stop-shop solution will be provided by Abacus Group and Gotham Security under the “One Abacus” umbrella following the company’s acquisition of the cybersecurity provider last year.
This strategic change will enable Abacus Group to manage all of its clients’ IT and security requirements now and in the future. It is focused on helping financial services firms navigate the ever-changing cybersecurity threat landscape and align with operational due diligence and regulatory requirements, both current and pending. This includes the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the US, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK, and the Digital and Operational Resiliency Act (DORA) for European entities.
