If you have a valid business case for having and using netcat, should
be no problem to get an exception.  I do, and did without issue after
explaining the business case to my It department.  (if fact, they gave
me admin to configuring the antivirus on my machine rather than just
the netcat exception).

If you don't have a business case for having netcat on your work
machine, I'd highly recommend removing the install packages too, as 'a
fun toy' is not a good reason to get fired.
