This is why, as much as I hate it most of the time, it's a good idea not to have your devs with access to your network setup. If your a small shop, limit the access as much as reasonably possible.

Emphasis on reasonable. If you limit workers' access too much for them to do their jobs they will find creative workarounds. Some of those can be more dangerous than just giving them the access that they need in a way that you control. Examples being if you make it so that the only way developers can debug a system is by adding in backdoors, or if you lock down the network so much that they need to use an unsecured public network to do their work. I've seen those things happen. Developers and IT need to work together, not be adversaries.
