According to the 25 point implementation plan to reform federal information technology management released by the US Chief Information Officer, NIST “will facilitate and lead the development of standards for security, interoperability, and portability” for cloud computing.
The plan states that “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.”
