Preventing Piggybacking & Tailgating with SAIMA’s Entry Control Systems
In facilities where security is non-negotiable (like government offices, research institutions, and data centers), unauthorized access poses real and immediate risks. A single lapse can compromise sensitive data, disrupt operations, or endanger personnel. That’s why SAIMA America’s entry control systems are trusted by security teams nationwide to proactively detect and stop breaches like piggybacking and tailgating before they happen.
Understanding Piggybacking and Tailgating
Two of the most common breaches are piggybacking, when an unauthorized person slips in behind an authorized one, and tailgating, where someone follows closely to bypass credential checks.
These breaches exploit moments of human error and physical gaps in security systems. Whether unintentional oversight or a calculated intrusion, piggybacking and tailgating can lead to serious consequences, including data theft, sabotage, or safety threats.
Traditional access methods like keycards or biometric scanners often aren’t enough. That’s where SAIMA’s technology comes in. It provides physical, automated barriers that distinguish between authorized and unauthorized entry attempts.
