In the Assassin's Creed series, what corporation operates the Animus technology in the modern-day storyline?

Abstergo Industries operates the Animus technology in the modern-day storyline of the Assassin's Creed series.

Abstergo is a multinational corporation secretly controlled by the Templar Order. Publicly, it presents itself as a powerful research and consumer-products company, while covertly using technology, surveillance, and historical research to advance Templar goals. The Animus lets users experience genetic memories inherited from their ancestors.

The company appears throughout the franchise, beginning with the original Assassin's Creed. A common mix-up is treating Abstergo as simply another name for the Templars; the Templars are the organization, while Abstergo is their modern corporate instrument. Abstergo Entertainment also appears in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, where it uses a video-game studio as cover for memory research.

The modern-day conflict therefore mirrors the historical struggle between Assassins and Templars, connecting separate historical settings through one continuing story.
