As IP networks evolve beyond just "simple transport", whether the public Internet or private networks or hybrids of both, the role of security, identity and presence technologies will be indispensable for the services on IP networks. It is no longer sufficient to only provide security, but, identity, in combination with presence along with security, to provide the foundation of services of interactive, real-time and social networking capabilities. As IP is the foundation of video, voice, data and mobile services, the need for synergy across applications can only be met through the combination of these three enablers.
