Its fun to rail on internal IT. Most organizations inadvertently set the department up to fail and then find themselves shocked, shocked I tell you, to find that they have failed to deliver.
The boys in the basement aren't a bunch of Luddites, before the upstairs staff has even heard of the new tech out there, they're already dependent on it in their personal life (or have demoed and tossed it to the curb).
Spoilers: They actually can stop it, they're the ones managing firewall config after all. You should ask yourself "Why haven't they?" Probably has something to do with the fact the buisness requirements and/or budget preventing them from using the tools everybody would prefer.
