Evolving with the Threat: BRITECITY’s Two-Step Plan to Supercharge Your POLARITY Mailbox Security

In cybersecurity, one thing never changes; threats always do. Attackers evolve daily, finding new ways to breach even strong defenses. At BRITECITY, we believe the best protection is proactive, not reactive. That’s why we’re introducing a two-step plan to strengthen your email security; immediate upgrades now, followed by a powerful new protection layer coming in Q1. 

Step 1: Immediate Action – Stronger Defenses Today 

Your POLARITY Mailbox now benefits from smarter filtering and expanded threat detection, designed to block today’s most common scams and malicious campaigns. 

Key enhancements include: 

  • Smarter Quarantine Filters: Targeted detection for phishing, scams, and forged emails. Suspicious messages are routed to quarantine for review, giving you control without the clutter. 
  • Geographic Safeguards: To stop global spam and scam networks, we’ve restricted risky international traffic while allowing legitimate routes through Finland, the UK, Canada, and the Netherlands. 

The results: fewer junk messages, stronger defense against phishing and malware, and uninterrupted communication. 

Here’s a look at the new quarantined categories: 

Category  What It Blocks  Why It Matters 
419 SCAM  Fraud like “Nigerian prince” scams  Stops classic advance-fee scams early 
ARBGL  Arabic gambling promotions  Filters unsolicited, high-risk promotions 
BADCHARSET  Invalid character encoding  Catches malformed messages hiding payloads 
FILECHECK  Suspicious attachments  Prevents malware from file downloads 
IPINURL  IP-embedded URLs  Blocks direct malware and phishing links 
ISRUSSIAN  Russian-language spam  Filters out language-specific bulk spam 
MAXINVALID  Bulk sends to invalid addresses  Blocks spam targeting data harvesting 
NOLEGITCONTENT  Empty spam or ad content  Reduces low-value clutter 
PHISHING  Credential theft attempts  Stops login and account theft attempts 
PHISHINGURL  Malicious phishing links  Blocks fake login or payment sites 
SGNATURE  Forged signatures  Detects impersonation attempts 
SPEARPHISH  Targeted phishing  Stops personalized, high-risk attacks 

If a legitimate email is quarantined, contact [email protected] or call 949-243-7440 — we’ll resolve it right away. 

Step 2: Forward Momentum – Smarter, Adaptive Protection in Q1 

Step 1 strengthens what you have today. Step 2 transforms how protection works tomorrow. In Q1, we’ll move your service to an advanced email-security platform built for modern threat patterns; powered by AI, behavioral analysis, and real-time intelligence. 

Here’s what’s coming: 

  • Deeper Intelligence: The system continuously analyzes message intent, structure, and user behavior to catch phishing and malware campaigns that traditional filters miss — including zero-day threats. 
  • Full-Spectrum Coverage: Every communication path is protected; inbound, outbound, and internal. Attachments, links, and collaboration tools are all scanned before they reach your users. 
  • Adaptive Response: Threats are identified and blocked before delivery using sandboxing and behavioral analysis to stop credential theft, ransomware, and account compromise. 
  • Seamless Transition: BRITECITY handles everything. The migration will be smooth, quick, and disruption-free; with clear communication and guidance from our team. 

This next-generation protection ensures your Microsoft 365 environment stays secure against evolving cyber threats, with intelligence that grows and adapts as attackers change tactics. 

At BRITECITY, security isn’t just about defense; it’s about confidence. By pairing today’s precision filtering with tomorrow’s intelligent protection, we’re keeping your inbox safer, your business stronger, and your day simpler.
