Hosted IP refers to an IP telephony deployment where the IP PBX, associated application servers, and primary media gateways are located, or "hosted," in the service provider’s network. You, in turn, deploy IP phones and failover media gateways on the enterprise premises. The service provider (or a third party) then manages the voice application for you.
As with an IP PBX deployment, hosted IP deployments will have security issues you must be aware of. Hosted IP security will often be the responsibility of the service provider, so you will need to analyze their security approach and make sure it satisfies your requirements. You should also consider improving security through the components you can manage, including network switches, enterprise firewalls, and SIP-aware firewalls/Secure Edge Proxies (SEPs).
