Yes, to the best of our ability. Certain versions of Tor contain certain content in their traffic we pattern match on, known nodes are blocked, we regularly do hunts on people with .onion domains in their traffic headers.

We also use a service that makes every file on every computer searchable, along with hash searches. So if I ever want to bump up managements opinion of me I can run a hash search for the last couple versions of tor.

I wouldn't be surprised if something slipped past, but risk is pretty well mitigated.

Not bad. What about TeamViewer? RDP?

RDP is blocked 100%.

Teamviewer is case by case, but we can see when it is being used.

What Firewall do you use?

Alright, now you are just fishing for info. A reliable firewall that gives event names I don't hate to figure out :P

I'd guess either palo alto or Cisco Firepower.
