Understanding Cyber Liability: An Introduction to Tailgating and Piggybacking
Cyber liability is a critical aspect of modern business, encompassing a broad range of risks associated with the use of technology. Two essential concepts to understand within this scope are tailgating and piggybacking. Tailgating, in the context of cyber security, refers to the practice where unauthorized individuals follow authorized users to bypass security protocols, often in a physical setting like an office or data center. Piggybacking, similarly, involves leveraging the network access of a legitimate user to gain unauthorized access to data. Both practices pose significant risks to the integrity of a company's data infrastructure, underscoring the need for robust preventive measures and comprehensive cybersecurity policies.
