Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for mitigating attacks on a WebRTC system at the edge of an enterprise network. In a particular embodiment a method provides obtaining access criteria regarding access to a WebRTC system in the enterprise network, wherein the access criteria comprise instructions for allowing WebRTC connections with the WebRTC system. The method further provides receiving WebRTC signaling associated with WebRTC connections between the WebRTC system and endpoints having network addresses outside the enterprise network and blocking at least one connection associated with the WebRTC signaling from participating in WebRTC communications with the WebRTC system based on the access criteria.
