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?

_See scenario._

## Explanation

Answer is Tailgating B!

Piggybacking
Piggybacking usually implies entry into a building or security area with the consent of the authorized person. For example, an attacker might request an authorized person to unlock a security door, saying that they have forgotten their ID badge. In the interest of common courtesy, the authorized person will allow the attacker to pass through the door.

Tailgating 
Tailgating implies accessing a building or secured area without the consent of the authorized
person. It is the act of following an authorized person through a secure entrance, as a polite user would open and hold the door for those following them. An attacker, wearing a fake badge, might attempt to enter the secured area by closely following an authorized person through a door that requires key access. They then try to enter the restricted area while pretending to be an authorized person
