CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) — Question 122

An organization recently experienced a security incident due to an exterior door in a busy area getting stuck open. The organization launches a security campaign focused on the motto. "See Something. Say Something." Which of the following best describes what the organization wants to educate employees about?

Answer options

• A. Situational awareness
• B. Phishing
• C. Social engineering
• D. Tailgating

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as 'Situational awareness' involves being aware of one's surroundings and reporting any unusual activity, which aligns with the campaign's motto. Options B and C, 'Phishing' and 'Social engineering', are specific tactics used in cyber attacks and are not related to physical security awareness. Option D, 'Tailgating', refers specifically to unauthorized entry following someone with legitimate access, which is not the primary focus of the campaign.
