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?
Tailgating represents the situation, when an individual without access authorization closely follows an authorized person in a reserved area.
Piggybacking represents the situation, when someone accesses a reserved area with the permission obtained by deception of an authorized person.
Easy way to remember the difference between tailgating and piggybacking, you can tailgate a vehicle without them knowing. You can't piggyback on someone without them knowing.
The individual has just performed a breach known as tailgating. This involves an unauthorized person following an authorized individual into a secure area, taking advantage of their access. Piggybacking is similar concept but often involves the authorized person willingly allowing the unauthorized individual to enter them.
"Tailgating" implies no consent (similar to a car tailgating another vehicle on a road), while "piggybacking" usually implies consent of the authorized person
Piggybacking is the correct answer
Piggybacking - An authorized person intentionally or unintentionally allows an unauthorized person to pass through a secure door e.g., “I forgot my ID badge at home. Please help me”.
Tailgating - The attacker, wearing a fake ID badge, enters a secured area by closely following an authorized person through a door that requires key access.
It's tailgating. There was no consent by the employee that legitimately entered. If it was piggybacking, the employee would have had to at least acknowledge the guy sneaking in.

Tailgating represents the situation, when an individual without access authorization closely follows an authorized person in a reserved area.
according to CEH material: Tailgating
The attacker, wearing a fake ID badge, enters a secured area by closely following an authorized person through a door that requires key access.
EC-Council. (2020 ). CEI Slides: Certified Ethical Hacker v11. [[VitalSource Bookshelf version]]
in this question there is NO WEARING FAKE BADGE! so piggybacking is the answer for sure!
Tailgating is when an unauthorized person follows an authorized person into the secure or restricted area WITHOUT the consent of the authorized person.
Piggybacking is when an unauthorized person follows an authorized person into the secure or restricted area WITH the consent of the authorized person.
According to CEH material (page 1227):
Piggybacking: An authorized person intentionally or *unintentionally* allows an unauthorized person to pass through a secure door.
Tailgating: The attacker, wearing a fake ID badge, enters a secured area by closely following an authorized person through a door that requires key access.
For tailgating to happen a badge must exist. In this case the authorized employee let the attacker enter unintentionally, so piggybacking!
The question doesn't mention a badge. For all you know, the guy had a badge. You seem to be focusing on a minor detail that isn't even present. Pretty sure its tailgating based on the other details.
Exactly! According to CEH! not to the real world !
Everyone definition:
What is tailgating in cyber security?
Tailgating, sometimes referred to as piggybacking, is a physical security breach in which an unauthorized person follows an authorized individual to enter a secured premise. Tailgating provides a simple social engineering-based way around many security mechanisms one would think of as secure.
Tailgating represents the situation, when an individual without access authorization closely follows an authorized person in a reserved area. The malefactor takes advantage of the moment, when the authorized one opens the door with his badge – and sneaks inside before the door closes.
Piggybacking represents the situation, when someone accesses a reserved area with the permission obtained by deception of an authorized person
