Enterprise network applying enterprise policies to secure WebRTC interactive sessions

摘要

A method for applying an enterprise policy to a WebRTC interactive session comprises receiving by a distributed policy enforcement agent 12 of a recipient device 28, a WebRTC session description object directed to the recipient device originating from a sender device 40 via a secure network connection 52. The method further comprises the distributed policy enforcement agent determining, through reference to an enterprise policy data store 26 associated with the enterprises demilitarized zone (DMZ) policy enforcement point 22 for controlling enterprise firewalls, one or more enterprise policies based on the WebRTC session description object. These one or more enterprise policies are then applied to the WebRTC session description object. In this manner, an enterprise may permit establishment of a secure, encrypted WebRTC interactive session that crosses an enterprise network boundary, while at the same time ensuring that the WebRTC interactive session complies with the one or more enterprise policies.
