Depends on the org. For some companies, you could drop a few USB devices in the parking lot and they'd be toast. Others fill the USB ports on their computers with epoxy.

You plug those in and epoxy them so they can never be removed.

Maybe. But it would have to be smart. These systems are regulated by tight SOPs which don’t allow for the plugging in random USB devices.
