For more than 100 years, National Gypsum has built its brand around dependability and security -- they don’t call one of their best-selling products Gold Bond for nothing. But with the advent of cloud computing, the Charlotte-based company also needed to manage their applications safely and securely. We sat down with Michael Brannon, National Gypsum’s director of infrastructure & security, to find out why he could trust Okta’s identity management solution for his rough and tough manufacturing company. So how does a company that produces physical materials end up in the cloud? There’s nothing about National Gypsum that’s sexy and cloud-like. But at the same time, people within National Gypsum’s business – primarily sales and marketing people – wanted to move us to the cloud. We [the IT department] don’t want to be the area that says no to things the business wants to do. How do you securely become.
