So far we have been leaning towards option 3, so as not to stifle innovation while still making sure people are aware of the risks & of their responsibilities. Prohibiting the tools can also quickly devolve into a game of whack-a-mole as new options appear every day. At the same time, we would like to quickly get onboard with corporate-friendly options from our cloud providers, be it collaboration tooling (Google Workspace, Office365) or cloud infra (AWS, GCP, Azure) so that we can continue to build in a safer environment.
