Background -- Many federal agencies report using IoT technologies for a variety of purposes -- Federal agencies most often identified increased data collection and operational efficiencies as benefits and cybersecurity and interoperability as challenges -- While most agencies reported using general information technology policies, a few reported using IoT-specific guidance -- Agency comments -- Appendices. |
| Summary |
IoT generally refers to devices--from sensors in vehicles to building thermostats-- that collect information, communicate it to a network, and may complete a task based on that information. Although IoT technologies may present an opportunity for the federal government to operate more efficiently and effectively, federal agencies may also face challenges in acquiring and using IoT. GAO was asked to review the federal government's experience with IoT. This report describes (1) IoT technologies selected federal agencies are using, (2) the benefits and challenges of using IoT technologies, and (3) policies and guidance selected agencies follow in using and acquiring IoT technologies. |
