When covering social engineering in a security awareness session, which tactic describes an unauthorized person who quietly walks in immediately behind an employee through a locked door without using their own access card?
Baiting
Tailgating
Phishing
Shoulder surfing
Tailgating is a physical-access social engineering technique in which an attacker closely follows an authorized individual into a restricted area, bypassing door controls without presenting credentials. Phishing targets users with deceptive electronic messages, baiting entices victims with a promised item such as an infected USB drive, and shoulder surfing involves spying on someone's screen or keyboard to capture sensitive data. None of these other methods rely on slipping through a secured doorway behind another person.
