Most companies deny all but specific ports.  For example, block all
ports, allow port 80 and 443 for everyone, then allow specific servers
to get out to services they need (25 for mail, 53 for dns, 80/443 for
proxy/webfilter, etc).

That won't stop everyone and everything, but its a good start.  A
smart user can always tunnel over port 80, icmp, or whatever you have
open, that's where a good webfilter/proxy comes into play, and don't
let the users get to anywhere directly.
