Abacus Group, a global leader in managed IT and cybersecurity solutions for the financial services sector, has announced a strategic partnership with Zero Networks, a pioneering provider of micro-segmentation and zero-trust security technologies. This collaboration equips Abacus Group’s clients with cutting-edge tools to minimize cyber risks, meet stringent regulatory requirements, and fortify their cybersecurity defenses.
The partnership brings sophisticated yet accessible micro-segmentation capabilities to Abacus Group’s clientele. Traditionally, this level of network segmentation was limited to large enterprises due to the complexity and resource demands of legacy systems. Leveraging Zero Networks’ innovative platform, Abacus Group now enables financial services firms of all sizes to implement critical security measures seamlessly and efficiently.
“Enhancing Client Protection Amid a Dynamic Threat Landscape”
“Protecting our clients is a top priority, and we constantly evaluate and enhance our cybersecurity offerings to respond to evolving threats and tightening regulations,” said Eric Ziobro, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Abacus Group. “This partnership provides access to powerful security technology that is both advanced and easy to implement. Zero Networks has proven to be an excellent partner, offering exceptional support and training to ensure the solution is tailored to our clients’ specific needs.”
Zero Networks’ micro-segmentation technology employs highly accurate deterministic algorithms to automatically isolate and segment user devices. This prevents unauthorized lateral movement across networks, mitigating the risk of ransomware attacks and data breaches. The platform’s granular access control and continuous user monitoring ensure optimal security without disrupting business operations.
Strategic Alignment for Long-Term Security
Aaron Peterik, Global Channel Sales Director at Zero Networks, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: “Abacus Group’s extensive expertise in delivering IT and cybersecurity services makes them an ideal partner for extending our solutions to a broader audience. We’re thrilled to work with their team to help clients not only meet regulatory compliance but also enhance operational resilience and minimize the risk of breaches.”
The partnership has already achieved successful implementations with several Abacus Group clients, with additional rollouts planned in the coming months. Abacus Group’s dedicated team, trained and supported by Zero Networks, is leading these integrations to ensure seamless deployment and ongoing system performance.
Raising Awareness for Proactive Cybersecurity
Moving forward, both companies plan to expand the adoption of these solutions across Abacus Group’s entire client base. Additionally, they aim to increase awareness within the financial services industry about the importance of proactive cybersecurity measures, including the critical role micro-segmentation plays in mitigating risks.
By combining Abacus Group’s sector-specific expertise with Zero Networks’ cutting-edge technology, this partnership sets a new standard for accessible and effective network security in the financial services industry.
