How can we restrict users/profiles from importing/manually creating leads

All the leads should only get created from marketing automation system and users should not be allowed to import via data loader/import wizard or even manual create the leads.
What are the options available to achieve this?
Thanks!!

HI Shiva,
To be able to import/Create records , users need ​​​​​​ Create permission on the lead. Removing this permission for needed users should help fix the issue.
