In my office, there's no USB devices of any kind (unless specifically approved by corporate, which includes a short list of nearly obsolete mice and keyboards), no device of any kind which communicates wirelessly (cell phones, any Bluetooth enabled thing, like fitbits and similar, smart watches, and so on), anything which is capable of recording audio or video, and so on.

On the network side, all of our traffic goes through one of a tiny handful of firewalls. The internet policy is basically "deny all, with some exceptions," and all data gets passed through a strict filter. While that breaks a lot of internet functionality and means that work internet is 90's-era slow, it means we almost never have security problems.
