Mga madalas itanong
What is tailgating in security?
Tailgating is when someone without access follows an authorized person through a secured door. When the authorized person knowingly holds the door, it is often called piggybacking. Both defeat access control.
What should I do if someone calls claiming to be from the alarm company and asks for the code?
Do not give it. Hang up and call the alarm company or your supervisor using a number you already trust, not one the caller gives you.
What is quishing?
Quishing is phishing that uses QR codes. The code sends you to a fake website that tries to steal your login or payment details.
Where do I report a scam in Canada?
Tell your supervisor and IT team. If you lost money or information, contact your local police, then report to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
