According to research, conducted for Dell by Dimensional Research and reported in Tech Target, global firms have a long way to go to learn what the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entails and how they’re going to comply with it by the time it takes effect in May 2018. Only 31% of respondents were confident they were prepared for GDPR compliance, while 37% admitted their firms were not ready, leaving 32% with no idea of whether or not their firms were prepared. Only 3% said their companies had plans in place to be ready for the new regulation, though 37% reported they were still working on their plan and 27% were trying to determine who needs to be involved in GDPR planning. The remaining third of respondents said their company had not even begun to plan for the change.

Government plans to spend a previously announced £1.9bn sum on cybersecurity include recruiting more than 50 specialists who will work at the cybercrime unit at the National Crime Agency. These recruits will help tackle organised gangs with the objective of making it far costlier and less attractive for criminals to engage in hi-tech crime.

Security-based start-ups will also get help via an innovation fund that will commercialise work on novel tools and defences.

A self-driving truck, developed by the Uber-owned startup Otto, recently made the first autonomous commercial delivery by driving 120 miles across Colorado to deliver 2,000 cases of Budweiser beer. Reported in Live Science, the truck departed the Anheuser-Busch facility in Loveland, Colorado, and drove itself on Interstate 25 through Denver - alongside regular car traffic - to Colorado Springs. According to Otto, a trained driver was in the truck at all times, but never had to intervene for the entire 120-mile stretch of interstate.
