As cloud computing increases and more federal data becomes available on-demand, many agencies are turning to the Internet of Things (IoT), in which they can instantly connect and exchange data via a network of interrelated physical devices with sensors, software and other technologies. IoT has allowed for military operations to take advantage of edge computing, environmental agencies to monitor the nation’s carbon output, healthcare professionals achieve regulatory compliance and much more.
