(InfoWorld) - William McCracken is going to succeed Lewis Ranieri as chairman of CA, effective immediately, the management software company said Wednesday. Ranieri will remain a director of CA but is stepping down as chairman after three years because the investigations and legal problems for the company have largely been put behind it. Last November, former CA CEOÂ Sanjay Kumar was sentenced to 12 years in prisonÂ on charges on securities fraud and obstruction of justice. He has also been ordered to pay $1 billion in restitution to victims of the fraud he committed while running the company. In April, CA released an internal report that alsoÂ blamed co-founder Charles Wang for accounting fraudÂ at the company and recommended suing him for damages. McCracken chaired the special committee that wrote that report. CA avoided prosecution for securities fraud under an agreement with the U.S. government. "With the Deferred Prosecution Agreement successfully completed and the company moving in the right direction, it is both fitting and appropriate that I step down as chairman," said Ranieri in a statement. He's been on CA's board since 2001. McCracken, who retired in 2001 after a 36-year career at IBM, joined CA's board in 2006.

(InfoWorld) - The CA executive who managed the company's eTrust line of security management software has taken the reins at database security vendor Application Security. Toby Weiss took over as president and CEO of the company Feb. 1. He replaces Jack Hembrough, who will now serve as chairman of the board. Weiss is one of three executives to have fled CA over the past month, as the company struggles to turn around its flagging fortunes. The other two were Sam Greenblatt, senior vice president of innovation, and Gary Starkey, senior vice president of CA's Executive Technology Advisors. In an interview, Weiss said he welcomed the opportunity to push security into the database area. "There are not too many companies that have very detailed database security [products]," he said. "There have been over 100 million digital identities stolen since 2005," he added. "What companies need are solutions." Founded in 2001, Application Security is based in New York with a staff of about 120.
