Cyber Daily: Trucking Firms in Europe, Asia Grapple with U.N. Cyber Rules

Good day.Companies in the commercial trucking and hauling industry in the European Union and some parts of Asia are under pressure to improve safeguards against cyberattacks to comply with a new United Nations regulation, WSJ Pros Catherine Stupp reports from Brussels.

Trucking firms grapple with cybersecurity amid new regulation and risks.A new United Nations regulation has big firms in the industry stepping up measures to prevent hackers from intercepting and manipulating trucks, which increasingly contain digital components that send data to internet-connected infrastructure and back end systems. Smaller suppliers, however, often lack the financial and human resources to implement important security changes, experts say.

Countries including EU members, Japan and South Korea will start implementing the regulation over the next two years, and companies selling trucks and truck parts in those markets will also have to comply.
