Can't activate Adobe fonts on my work machine due to security policy

I can see in my system's log when I activate the font it tries to send them to my machine, but my company's security policy is blocking them because the files are not digitally signed. Is anyone aware of a workaround or something; can the files be downloaded directly or passed through a signing tool or something? I already asked about making an exception in the system for the fonts, but they said that they are not able to do that.

Don't know if this will help, but here is some info on what domains need to be allowed:

Otherwise, ask if you can work on a non-hardened system/network.

Some fonts are found here: https://www.fontsquirrel.com

I don't think (though I may be wrong) that fonts are signed at all. So that would basically be saying that they don't allow any fonts to be installed.

There is no workaround for that problem.

Sorry, but I believe it's your company's policies that are wrong. Clearly, they want you to use fonts which they will pay for, and I hope you can purchase the fonts you need for your projects.
