伴随 (bàn suí) — to accompany, to occur together with

Definition

伴随 (bànsuí) means 'to accompany / occur together with' and is used for two things happening at the same time, often abstract (e.g., events, conditions). It contrasts with 陪伴 (péibàn), which is personal company for a person, and 陪同 (péitóng), which is formal, like escorting a guest. 跟随 (gēnsuí) is 'to follow' physically or in a sustained manner, not simply co-occur.
