Yes -- use Access Rules module... and you can put variables in like % to ensure nothing before or after is allowed either, in case they try to mask those words with other words... below is a small snippet from my website...

As you can see, from the first of the words, %controller% is not allowed -- for example: website_controller, web-controller, site controller, controller_of_website, etc.etc. isn't allowed.
