Abacus Group, a leading global provider of managed IT and cybersecurity services for highly regulated industries, has officially opened its first office in the Middle East, located in the Dubai International Financial Centre DIFC. This strategic expansion marks a major step in the company's international growth plans and aims to meet rising demand for specialist IT and cybersecurity services in the UAE.
Over the past 18 months, Abacus has seen a significant increase in its client base in the region, with the number of clients having a presence in the UAE doubling to over 25. The company has also engaged with early-stage asset managers choosing Dubai as their primary location. This growth is driven by the UAE's robust regulatory environment, expanding capital pools, thriving non-oil trade, and a business-friendly ecosystem.
"Dubai has emerged as a leading destination for the world's top alternative investment managers, all seeking expertise and presence on the ground backed by global reach and capability. Abacus is uniquely positioned to deliver exactly that. We also provide enterprise-grade IT and cybersecurity support to smaller firms in the city that have previously found it difficult to access the level of premier protection and expertise that we can provide."
