Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. As UCC, AV and digital signage environments grow more complex, many companies rely on MSPs for efficiency and scalability. However, this outsourcing also creates new risks. \u201cIf a service provider is compromised, attackers can potentially access multiple customer environments at once,\u201d says Damberger. This multiplier effect makes MSPs highly attractive for ransomware groups and espionage actors. At the same time, they operate critical systems containing valuable data \u2013 from communication metadata to technical operational insights.Multi-layered security is essentialMVC Videra \u00a0\u2013 born from a merger of German integrator MVC and Finnish telco subsidiary Elsa Videra \u2013 addresses these risks with a multi-layered approach combining technical and organizational measures. Infrastructure is strictly segmented using tenant separation, firewalls, VLANs and VRFs, while access is encrypted and continuously monitored.Equally important are governance structures: role-based access, clearly defined permissions, audit logs and regular security audits. \u201cWe control exactly who can access what, and when,\u201d Damberger explains.Frankfurt-HQ based MVC Videra (Image: MVC Videra)Frankfurt-HQ based MVC Videra (Image: MVC Videra)Frankfurt-HQ based MVC Videra (Image: MVC Videra)Key attack vectorsCurrent threats include phishing, compromised admin accounts, ransomware and DDoS attacks. Phishing in particular remains a major entry point, as hacked mailboxes provide valuable context for further attacks.Admin accounts pose the greatest risk and must be protected with phishing-resistant MFA, such as passkeys or hardware tokens. In UCC environments, telephony-related threats \u2013 including SIP misuse and attacks on public interfaces \u2013 are also increasing. Availability remains critical, making DDoS a serious concern.Transparency over promisesFor customers, security must be verifiable. \u201cAvailability promises are not enough,\u201d says Damberger. MSPs should clearly demonstrate how they separate customer environments, manage access, handle vulnerabilities and ensure secure backups and incident response. Transparency is the decisive factor.Certifications such as ISO 27001, 27017, 27018 or TISAX are useful indicators but not sufficient on their own. \u201cThey don\u2019t replace a look at how security is actually implemented,\u201d he adds.European infrastructure gaining importanceData sovereignty is becoming a key decision factor. Many companies seek GDPR-compliant alternatives to global cloud providers. MVC Videra operates its own infrastructure in Frankfurt and Finland, ensuring full control within the European legal framework and geo-redundant resilience across both sites.Security in practiceCyber resilience relies on consistent principles: least-privilege admin access, no shared accounts, full logging and strict network separation. Customer environments are isolated from each other using dedicated network structures and controlled connections.Vulnerability management is continuous, with daily evaluation of security advisories and regular scans. Backup strategies go beyond standard approaches, combining dedicated systems, cross-site replication and offline storage. Regular recovery testing ensures resilience in real scenarios.A common misconception and what to look forOne of the biggest mistakes companies make is assuming MSPs are inherently secure. \u201cSecurity doesn\u2019t come automatically with professional IT operations,\u201d Damberger stresses. It must be embedded in architecture, processes and company culture.When selecting a provider, IT decision-makers should focus on demonstrability. A trustworthy MSP can clearly explain its security architecture and openly answer critical questions.\u201cCertifications help, but they don\u2019t replace technical discussion,\u201d Damberger concludes. \u201cWhat matters is proven security in practice.\u201d
