National postal operator: Zero Trust network security

Context

A national postal operator running a critical logistics network that covers letters, parcels, financial flows and digital services. FuturWork deployed a senior Network Security Solution Architect to modernize enterprise network security and support the move to hybrid and cloud environments.

Challenges

• Escalating threats. Ransomware, DDoS and targeted attacks, with a wider attack surface due to cloud adoption.
• Complex hybrid environment. On-premise, cloud and SaaS side by side, legacy SD-WAN and emerging SASE.
• Regulatory pressure. NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001 and GDPR, with full audit readiness required.

What we did

• Zero Trust architecture. End-to-end design with ZTNA, secure web gateway and firewall as a service.
• Advanced security stack. NGFW, IDS/IPS, VPN, DDoS protection and SD-WAN/SASE evaluation.
• Compliance and roadmap. Risk assessments, audit-ready controls and a multi-year modernization plan.

Results

• Zero Trust network architecture in place
• Controls aligned with NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001 and GDPR
• A scalable, multi-year network security roadmap
