What is the name of the fictional corporation that serves as the modern Templar front in Assassin's Creed?

Abstergo Industries is the fictional corporation that serves as the modern Templar front in Assassin's Creed.

Across the series, Abstergo presents itself as a powerful multinational company while secretly advancing the goals of the Templar Order. Its research includes the Animus, a technology that allows subjects to experience genetic memories inherited from ancestors. This device supplies the games' connection between modern characters and historical settings.

The corporation first appears prominently in the modern-day sections of the original 2007 game, in which Desmond Miles is held at an Abstergo facility and forced to use the Animus. Abstergo's activities later expand into entertainment and consumer technology, allowing the Templars to influence public understanding of history and develop new ways to locate Pieces of Eden.

Abstergo Entertainment is a subsidiary or operational branch associated with the larger corporation. It is therefore related to the answer but is not the corporation's full name. The name is not a reference to a real-world company.
