At ACME Corp, an employee entered a secured server room using their authorized access badge. Another individual, dressed in a company uniform but without visible credentials, managed to enter the room by closely following the employee. What is this security breach an example of?
Tailgating
Shoulder surfing
Dumpster diving
Phishing
This scenario is an example of tailgating, where an unauthorized individual gains access to a secure area by following someone with authorized access. Shoulder surfing involves directly observing someone’s private information, typically over their shoulder, which isn’t the focus in this case. Dumpster diving refers to searching through trash to find valuable information or items, and phishing is a type of deception that typically involves misleading emails or other forms of communication to steal sensitive information - none of which describe the situation presented.
