HUNT VALLEY, Md., 2013-06-12 22:41 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Dunbar Digital Armor, the cyber security affiliate of Dunbar Armored, Inc. has
announced that it has begun providing services to the NASDAQ OMX Group to
protect access to FinQloud, the company's secure, cloud computing platform
designed exclusively for the financial services industry. Dunbar Digital Armor
will support FinQloud's Regulatory Record Retention (R3) storage solution which
provides broker dealers with the ability to safely meet record archival and
retrieval requirements at substantially reduced cost and complexity.

'Dunbar Digital Armor is proud to be a trusted technology partner for NASDAQ
OMX's FinQloud,' said Kevin R. Dunbar, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Dunbar Armored, Inc. 'Providing cyber security solutions to protect our
customers' digital records in accordance with government regulations has become
an integral part of our business model as physical and digital security have
converged and our organization has evolved to defend against new security
threats,' he noted.

NASDAQ OMX's FinQloud provides the financial services community with a secure,
'industry-only' solution designed to immediately reduce technology burdens, aid
in compliance and refocus resources on revenue driving operations. These
economic benefits are made possible because of the scalability of a fully
managed solution that includes all the layers of cloud computing, such as
infrastructure data management, virtualization, and hosting. To meet stringent
operational, regulatory, and security requirements; and to protect the
integrity of data, all connections to FinQloud must pass through a rigorous
encryption key management system, which is housed in private NASDAQ OMX data
centers.

'Dunbar Digital Armor's forward-looking strategy and commitment to meeting our
needs resulted in a perfect opportunity for NASDAQ OMX to partner with a
company similarly focused on leading-edge innovation, and a company with a
90-year legacy in security,' said Stacie Swanstrom, Head of Access Services at
NASDAQ OMX. 'Dunbar provides us with technology that helps us to ensure the
integrity of data in our platform.'
