Information technology risk management for water quality monitoring IoT infrastructure: a case study at Tasik Chini Unesco Biosphere Reserve

Due to its rich and diverse biodiversity of flora and fauna, Tasik Chini, a UNESCO Bisosphere Reserve, is a national heritage that must be preserved and protected. Ensuring healthy water quality here is vital for the survival of the ecosystem. Water quality was constantly being monitored through...
