3.1: Publication
Publish cloud strategy Other Information:
Within the next six months, the Federal CIO will publish a strategy to accelerate the safe and secure adoption of cloud computing
across the government. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will facilitate and lead the development
of standards for security, interoperability, and portability. NIST is working with other agencies, industry, academia, standards
development organizations, and others to use existing standards as appropriate and develop cloud computing standards where
gaps exist. While cloud computing services are currently being used, experts cite security, interoperability, and portability
as major barriers to further adoption. The expectation is that standards will shorten the adoption cycle, enabling cost savings
and an increased ability to quickly create and deploy enterprise applications.
