NIST.SP.1800 Cybersecurity Practice Guides (2015-present): #

A new subseries created to complement the SP 800s; targets specific cybersecurity challenges in the public and private sectors; practical, user-friendly guides to facilitate adoption of standards-based approaches to cybersecurity;

NIST.SP.500 Computer Systems Technology (January 1977-present):#

A general IT subseries used more broadly by NIST's Information Technology Laboratory (ITL), this page lists selected SP 500s related to NIST's computer security efforts. (Prior to the SP 800 subseries, NIST used the SP 500 subseries for computer security publications; see Archived NIST SPs for a list.)
