If WebEx is susceptible to MITM attacks, it shouldn't be used for sensitive calls. It's better to use a VPN, but something like this should not happen at all, even without VPNs.
Sure, but when you demonstrably don't have a handle on E2E encryption using a VPN should be the FIRST step because it is very easy to implement, secure, and enforce. Virtually every private company does it.
Conversely E2E encryption is hard, lots of popular apps disable it by default or in some cases because it breaks a lot of useful things (like search). I agree it SHOULD still be mandated, but it's several orders of magnitude more expensive to switch the communication tool than mandating a VPN so for me that immediately pushes it second to VPN on the priority list.
