I've definitely encountered security teams that thrash between different broken policies. For instance, one employer simultaneously had these two policies:

- All developer laptops must be able to log into prod

- You must type a 2FA pin each time you access the test environment, and that includes nightly automation scripts.

I imagine they'd love to run a thing that detected and blocked scripted access to the test environment, but allowed it in production.

(In case it isn't obvious, I agree that corporate security teams shouldn't use strange network monitoring heuristics to interfere with common engineering and ops workflows.)
