Case Study: Lake Michigan Credit Union achieves stronger member data protection and streamlined security management with Forcepoint

Lake Michigan Credit Union Safeguards Member Data with Forcepoint

Lake Michigan Credit Union, a Grand Rapids–based financial institution serving over 430,000 members through 40+ branches, needed to protect sensitive member data from external threats like phishing and malware while preventing insider risks such as employees emailing or uploading member information and copying data to USB drives — all without increasing staff time spent managing security.

By deploying Forcepoint Web Security, Email Security, and DLP under a single, easy-to-manage console, LMCU stopped phishing attacks and blocked access to malicious sites, reduced administrative overhead through one-login unified management, and applied department-specific policies to balance productivity and protection.
