Co - ordination of a strategic agenda for ICT Security and Dependability (S&D) R&D for the 7 th framework programme The SecurIST project has established two fundamental bodies: European Security & Dependability Task Force (STF) Members from FP6 projects, whose role is to identify thematic areas , and to identify and prioritise challenges within Security and Dependability research. Advisory Board (AB) comprising established experts, whose role is to review, advise, enhance and promote the STF and further prioritise areas for future research.
