Explanation

Shoulder surfing is the practice of physically observing someone's screen to steal information. Privacy filters (also called screen privacy filters) are physical attachments that narrow the viewing angle of a monitor so only the person directly in front can see the screen. In a public place like an airport, this prevents bystanders from reading sensitive financial data. Firewalls and VPNs protect against network-based attacks, not physical viewing. RSA key fobs provide two-factor authentication, which is unrelated to screen visibility.
