What is the codename of the modern-day research company in Assassin's Creed?

Abstergo Industries is the codename-style name of the modern-day research company in Assassin's Creed.

Abstergo is a multinational corporation that publicly operates in areas such as pharmaceuticals and technology, while secretly serving the modern Templar Order. Its researchers use Animus technology to examine genetic memories and locate Pieces of Eden.

The company is the main institutional antagonist in the early modern-day storyline. It captures Desmond Miles in the first game and initially presents the Animus project as scientific research. Later stories show that Abstergo also develops entertainment products based on historical memory data, allowing the Templars to influence public understanding.

Abstergo is not the Assassin Brotherhood, the Helix platform, or the Animus itself. The Brotherhood is the opposing organization, Helix is a consumer-facing product associated with Abstergo, and the Animus is the memory technology. The company's name is therefore the specific answer to this corporate identity question.
