    Abstract: Methods and systems provide authentication of signaling from on-premise network(s) to a cloud network to prevent unauthorized access to device information belonging to another enterprise/on-premise network. Methods involve a cloud proxy service obtaining a request originating from a source network function deployed in an on-premise network and destined for a destination network function deployed in a cloud network. These methods further involve determining whether the source network function is associated with an enterprise network based on a unique identifier extracted from the request. The unique identifier is indicative of a particular enterprise network. The methods further involve providing the request to the destination network function based on determining that the source network function is associated with the particular enterprise network and blocking the request from propagating to the destination network function based on determining that the source network function is not associated with the particular enterprise network.
