Parsifal (Protection And tRuSt In FinanciAL infrastructures) is a Coordination Action project, funded by the FP7 Programme under the Strategic Objective: ICT-SEC-2007.1.7 (Critical Infrastructure Protection).

The project began in September 2008 and completed in February 2010. Close ties between CoMiFin and Parsifal have led to a number of successful events and a shared stakeholder group.

• Parsifal examined how to better protect Critical Financial Infrastructures (CFIs) and, to this end, returned eight specific recommendations. These recommendations relate to research topics which require attention in order to reduce the risk of CFI attack/degradation. The recommendations are divided amongst three areas: Controlling instant on-demand business; Entitlement management and securing content in a perimeter-less environment; and, Continuity and control in an interdependent service landscape.
• Deliverables for the project can be found here.
