That's something I can understand.

First running whireshark can give you a lot of information about your
company's network. Probably more than you need to have for your work.
So, they have to protect themselves from you. Because you can change
company in your future new company can be interested in the data you can
have from your former company. 

Second, they are legally responsible of what you do when you are paid by
them. So, if you have a partition they are unable to see, on which you
can have illegal stuff, they have to protect themselves from you.

So, I see nothing wrong with that. When you work for a company, you have
to comply to their rules. Or change your company if you don't like their
rules. But I find nothing wrong with you both sentences. If your work
requires either wireshark or a Linux partition, you can see with them
and they'll let you have any of them. If wireshark or a Linux partition
is not require but only useful, you can explain why you'll be less
productive and everything is fine.

I know LP/FR/DG/whatever has no idea about the usefulness of security,
but security is always a compromise between usability and protection.
You'll have to find where you can put the cursor with your
manager/security team. Sometimes, you'll find you just can't do
something for security reasons. If your need is more important than
security, you'll have to find how to do it with the minimum risks
involved.
