Preventing tailgating at security checkpoints
When passing through security checkpoints, people should check they are not being followed by others who do not have the correct security credentials.
Why is it important?
Security checkpoints can be difficult to bypass for attackers. One way they get through them is by following others.
By ensuring a person isn't followed through a checkpoint, physical security can be maintained.
