POLARITY is BRITECITY's required cybersecurity platform for managed service clients. It is not an optional add-on. Using a multi-layered defense strategy, POLARITY focuses on training, prevention, and monitoring to protect your business from modern cyber threats.
The Four Pillars of POLARITY
POLARITY combines four industry-leading security solutions into one comprehensive package:
1. Prevention & Content Filtering
Powered by Cisco Umbrella
- Blocks known malicious websites before they load
- Prevents successful phishing attacks
- Filters inappropriate content from work devices
- Works on-network and remotely
2. Next-Generation Antivirus
Powered by SentinelOne
- Automatically repairs damage from breaches
- Features 24/7 human monitoring of AI detections
- Machine learning continuously evolves detection capabilities
- Rollback capabilities restore systems after attacks
3. Application Safe-Listing
Powered by ThreatLocker
- Whitelist-based approach allowing only authorized software
- Blocks unknown applications proactively
- Ringfencing controls how applications interact
- Elevation control manages admin permissions
4. User Awareness Training & Dark Web Monitoring
Powered by BreachSecureNow
- Addresses human vulnerability in security chains
- Monitors for compromised company information on dark web
- Provides ongoing employee security training
- Simulated phishing tests keep awareness high
Why Multi-Layered Security?
No single security solution can protect against all threats. POLARITY's multi-layered approach means that if one layer is bypassed, others are ready to detect and stop the threat. This defense-in-depth strategy is considered the gold standard in cybersecurity.

Quick Answers
What is included in POLARITY?
POLARITY includes four security layers: Cisco Umbrella (DNS protection), SentinelOne (next-gen antivirus), ThreatLocker (application allowlisting), and BreachSecureNow (security awareness training). Together, these provide comprehensive protection against modern cyber threats.
Why do I need multiple layers of security?
No single security tool stops all threats. DNS filtering blocks malicious websites, antivirus catches malware, application control prevents unauthorized software, and training addresses human error - the cause of 90% of breaches. Each layer catches what others might miss.
