Please quote context. Please see here for information on how to

Your motive might have nothing to do with insider trading, but in the USA
most companies must, by law, take steps to ensure that leaks of
information do not occur, and that means they must monitor and record.
Penalties for evading such a system can be severe, no matter what the
reason for the evasion.

If they allow web based access to Gmail then they might not be
driven by the US regulatory requirements I was alluding to.
It sounds as if they are perhaps attempting to control viruses and trojans.
If they feel that that is necessary, that their normal virus
protections do not provide a sufficient layer, then you -are-
"fooling around with corp security" by increasing the risks to
the network.

In my recent incarnation as security manager, the action might not have
resulted in firing, but it -would- have had the local equivilent of
Vice President talking directly to the corporate Vice President in
charge of computer security to get an electronic wiretap turned on...
The exact consequences after that would be considered confidential, but
from my general discussions with corporate security, I know that
consequences have included firing of full employees for repeated
offences, non-renewal of contracts for terms and contractors, and
immediate "you are no longer welcome here" notices to guests.
