Security Awareness Vignettes: Quest Awaits

Security Awareness Vignettes: Quest Awaits - Transcript

Description of visuals

Please note - This video is designed to appear as an 8-bit video game. All scenes and images within the video are animated.

(An ID badge rotates on a black background. A photo of Teddy, his name and the Statistics Canada logo is displayed on the ID badge.)

(The ID badge continues to rotate as the background changes to a scene of three cartoon characters – a wizard, man and woman - standing on a grass surface in front of the Statistics Canada buildings. A title appears overtop the rotating ID badge – Teddy's Quest. The words "Press Start" then appear at the bottom of the screen.)

(The words "Player Select" appear on the next screen, and nine characters are displayed. One character named "Maxine" is highlighted by a yellow border, and then the character "Teddy" is highlighted by a yellow border. Teddy is selected, which causes the yellow border to flash to indicate he was chosen. The screen goes to black and the title "Level 1: Teddy's Quest" appears in the center of the screen.)

(The RH Coats building then appears, and Teddy is seen walking into the building. He then meets the Wizard in a dark, cave-like place where the RH Coats lobby should be. A conversation takes place between Teddy and the Wizard.)

(Teddy: Who...are...you?)

(Wizard: Why, a wizard of course! I thought the hat was a giveaway.)

(Teddy: Ah, ok...what are you doing here?)

(Wizard: Waiting for you! I have a quest to bestow upon you, Teddy, but be warned, it won't be easy. You were chosen out of 9 capable players. Statistically speaking, your odds were slim)

(Teddy: OK...so what happens now?)

(Wizard: Let's cut to the chase. We have a little problem. At times, employees are forgetful about security measures. So, we need to help remind them to make better security decisions. So, I am sending you on a quest.)

(Teddy: A .... Quest?)

(Wizard: Yes. Your quest has 6 levels. In each level, you will face challenges.)

(The dark cave disappears, and a golden ID badge appears, floating behind three clouds.)

(Wizard: Succeed, and you will gain the legendary golden swipe pass. What the pass opens or changes remains a mystery.)

(The golden ID badge disappears and the scene changes back to the dark cave.)

(Wizard: You are the chosen security champion, so you must set an example of excellence.)

(Teddy: Sounds great, l'm in! I could use a new pass. Mine's all dinged up. So, do I get a sword or something?)

(Wizard: Of course not. Really? A sword? No. I will, however, grant you with 10 lifelines.)

(A card appears between Teddy and the Wizard. It represents the 'lifelines'.)

(Wizard: Each mistake will cost you one lifeline.)

(The 'lifeline' card between Teddy and the Wizard disappears.)

(Wizard: Lose them all, and it's GAME OVER. No golden wipe pass, no being honoured as security champion)

(Teddy: Got it. So when does my quest start?)

(Wizard: Great question! It's already begun.)

(The room disappears and the screen goes to white for a few seconds. Teddy then appears in the lobby of the RH Coats building, and the 'lifeline' card is in front of him. He takes the card and enters an elevator on the right of the screen.)

(The screen fades to black and "To be continued..." appears. The screen then changes to white, and "Stop. Think Security. Get in the game." is displayed, followed by "For more information, visit the Departmental Security Office module on the ICN." The screen then fades to black, and the Canada wordmark then appears to conclude the video.)

Description of visuals

Please note - This video is designed to appear as an 8-bit video game. All scenes and Images within the video are animated.

(The name Teddy appears at the top left of the screen, 10 lifelines appear at the top middle of the screen, and the number '0' appears at the top right of the screen indicating the score. 'Resume Game' and the names of three players then appears in the middle of the screen – '1. Teddy', '2. Maxine' and '3. New player'. An arrow is flashing to the left of '1. Teddy', while an avatar of Teddy appears on the left. Teddy's name then begins to flash to indicate that he has been selected to resume the game.)

(The screen fades to black, and the title 'Level 2: Protecting Information appears in the middle of the screen.)

(The screen changes to display the new Workplace 2.0 seating environment.)

(Wizard:
Remember Teddy, you will be challenged, but you won't know when.)

(Teddy appears from an elevator on the right side of the screen. As he is walking to his desk, the Wizard continues to speak.)

(Wizard:
Each mistake will cost you. Now, go about your day! Enjoy your coffee.)

(As Teddy approaches his desk, Maxine then enters from the bottom of the screen and stands next to Teddy.)

(Maxine:
Hi Teddy! When you get a second, can you come to my office? I have a new project for you. Teddy:
Be right there. Just need to check my email.)

(The back of Teddy's head is shown as he looks at his computer screen. A post-it note is stuck to the right corner of his computer screen.) Teddy:
I can't remember... 6 or 7 at the end? 8? I wrote it down somewhere. Ah, here's the post-it...)

(As Teddy reaches for the post-it note, the screen flashes red and one of the lifelines at the top middle of the screen is taken away.)

(Wizard:
Remember, you shouldn't keep your passwords lying around your workstation.)

(The screen fades to black, and a clock with hour and minute hands is displayed which begins to rotate quickly to denote the passage of time, while the score at the top right of the screen increases to '1000'. The text "Later in the day" then appears above the clock.)

(The screen then changes back to Teddy getting up from his desk.)

(Teddy:
Time to catch my bus.)

(Teddy begins to walk away from his desk and head towards the elevator. He stops when the Wizard begins to speak.)

(Wizard:
Did you store all of the protected project files in a locked, secure area? Or leave them on your desk? Teddy:
Ah, well...I might have left them...)

(Teddy walks back to his desk and picks up a folder. The screen flashes red and another lifeline is lost at the top middle of the screen, while the score at the top right of the screen decreases to 8.)

(Teddy:
Wow. This is tougher than I thought. Can I really do this?)

(Wizard:
Mistakes happen. Just try to limit them as much as possible.)

(The screen changes to an image of a shredder and a piece of paper being shredded. The score at the top right of the screen increases to 7.5.)

(Teddy:
I'll shred these documents before I leave. I don't need them anymore.)

(Wizard:
Yup. He's ready...)

(The screen fades to black and 'To be continued...' appears. The screen then changes to white, and 'Stop. Think Security. Get in the game' is displayed, followed by 'For more information, visit the Departmental Security Office module on the ICN.' The screen then fades to black, and the Canada wordmark then appears to conclude the video.)

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey collects data from common carrier railways operating in Canada which are essential for the analysis of the railway transport industry and to assess its contribution to the Canadian economy. These data provide input into Canada's System of National Accounts for the calculation of the Gross Domestic Product and are used by various government departments to develop policy and to monitor the industry.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

Data are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and the Yukon. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to companies operating within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data and mailing it to the following address:

Chief Statistician of Canada
Statistics Canada
Attention of Director, Enterprise Statistics Division
150 Tunney's Pasture Driveway
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0T6

You may also contact us by email at statcan.esd-helpdesk-dse-bureaudedepannage.statcan@canada.ca or by fax at 613-951-6583.

For this survey, there are Section 12 agreements with Transport Canada. Railway carriers which are not federally regulated may object to sharing their information with Transport Canada by writing to the Chief Statistician.

4. Please verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.

These deals can be long-term or short-term; can include the right to serve customers on the line or not; and can be exclusive or not.
Jointly owned track:
Railway tracks owned by one carrier and used jointly by two or more carriers.
First main (road) operated:
It is equivalent to the length of single or first main track, measured by the distance between terminals over which railway transportation service is conducted. Exclude parallel, yard and siding trackage.
Second and other main track operated:
This is equivalent to the length of track in a second line running parallel to first main track where double track, triple track, etc., is laid on the same road-bed.
Passing tracks and crossovers:
Length of track parallel to first or other main track designated for meets and overtakes (passing) of trains and track provided for movement of trains between main tracks.
Industrial tracks and spurs:
A switching track serving industries such as mines, mills, smelters and factories.
Yard tracks:
A complex series of railroad tracks for storing, sorting, loading or unloading, railroad cars or locomotives. Railroad yards have many tracks in parallel for keeping rolling stock stored off the mainline, so that they do not obstruct the flow of traffic. Railroad cars are moved around by specially designed yard switchers, a type of locomotive.

General Information

Confidentiality

Your answers are confidential.
Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from releasing any information it collects which could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use information from this survey for statistical purposes.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician and returning it with the completed questionnaire. Please specify the organizations with which you do not want to share your data. For agreements with provincial and territorial government organizations, the shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

For all manufacturing industries — there are Section 12 agreements with the statistical agencies of Prince Edward Island, Northwest Territories and Nunavut, as well as with the Quebec Forest Industry Council, the Ministère de l'Énergie et des Ressources naturelles du Québec, the Ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs du Québec, the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, the Manitoba Department of Sustainable Development, the Saskatchewan Ministry of the Economy, the Alberta Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the British Columbia Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada and the National Energy Board.

Authorized disclosure

Section 17 of the federal Statistics Act allows for the disclosure of a list of individual establishments, firms or businesses showing information including the establishments' names and locations (province, territory and municipality) and North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes. The disclosure of these lists may be authorized in order to aid analysts in the interpretation of the data from the Annual Survey of Manufacturing (Logging industries).

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to minimize the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine it with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.
