Acquisition strengthens ABS's cyber security, IT resilience offering

An affiliate of Houston, US-headquartered ABS has acquired RMC Global to ramp up its provision of cyber security, IT resilience and risk assessment services to multiple industrial sectors.

ABS Consulting will combine RMC’s capabilities with its own services to provide technical solutions for securing IT and operational technology in increasingly complex risk environments with tougher regulatory requirements for cyber resilience.  

“Clients are facing increasing operational risk, cyber threats and regulatory pressure,” said ABS chairman and chief executive John McDonald.

“Bringing together the expertise of RMC and ABS Consulting strengthens our ability to deliver even greater services and support for our clients through comprehensive, integrated solutions.”

RMC has experience in critical infrastructure protection and industrial cyber security, while ABS’s expertise focuses on protecting people, assets and maritime and offshore operations worldwide.

“Both are committed to helping protect critical systems, support resilience, and solve complex challenges in environments where the stakes are high,” said Mr McDonald.
