There are literally tons of ways to tunnel out of a network. SSH is just 
one of them. Instead of blocking anything, network admins should monitor 
the traffic using netflow, and set alarms when too much data is leaving 
the network. That would prevent a lot of data breaches. Or at least 
minimize their impact.

Expecting to block something to avoid information breach, or any other 
kind of data theft is dumb. Also, come on people. It's 2015. Doesn't 
everybody also have a machine at home?
