Financial services managed service provider Abacus Group has acquired Entara, a Chicago-based IT MSP and MSSP serving financial services and other highly regulated industries. The acquisition enhances Abacus’ global reach and capabilities across cybersecurity, professional services, and digital infrastructure, said the firm.
Abacus will extend Entara’s specialised incident response capabilities to its clients and their portfolio companies, strengthening its “layered defence” approach and 24/7 cyber recovery support. Entara also brings a mature, AI-driven instance of the ServiceNow platform, that will enhance the service experience and outcomes for all clients.
Jonathan Bohrer, president of Abacus Group, said: “Entara's reputation and long-standing client relationships align perfectly with our core values as we further establish Abacus Group as the premier provider of managed services and cybersecurity globally.”
Pam Diaz, CEO and president at Entara, added: “Our shared customer service values and commitment to excellence will allow us to offer a broader range of premium services to our long-standing clients, as well as future prospective clients.
“Our employees take immense pride in the innovative capabilities they have built around incident response and ServiceNow, solutions built on years of AI and automation research and development. With this next chapter, they’ll have the opportunity to share those contributions within a larger organisation, amplifying their impact at scale.”
The value of the Entara acquisition has not been disclosed.
