The 500-293…is the Technology Roadmap.…There's three of those volumes to that technology roadmap.…NIST Cloud Computing Security Reference Architecture…gives us guidelines and advice…on what we need to do from a security standpoint…based on the type of model of security services…that we're using.…144,…145,…and 146 in the 800 series…give us the security-specific guidelines…around public cloud infrastructure,…and how to use that and maintain the privacy of our data.…
