An unauthorized individual enters a building following an employee through the employee entrance after the
lunch rush. What type of breach has the individual just performed?
A. Reverse Social Engineering
B. Tailgating
C. Piggybacking
D. Announced
b
Tailgating is when an unauthorized person follows an authorized person into a checkpoint or door allowing them to bypass that control. So the answer here is B.
The answer is C. Piggybacking
Tailgating occurs without the authorised person’s knowledge, while piggybacking occurs with the other person’s knowledge, to appear to be escorted, for example. So following someone ‘through the employee entrance after the lunch rush’ is piggybacking them.
