External tables. Security concerns.

I am considering using external tables for my ETL processes.
The DBAs are telling me that their policy is not allow any access to
the file system via the database - due to security concerns. This
means no external tables, no directory objects, no utl_file.
Are their concerns valid?


Is there a way to use these features securely?



Thanks
