ISLANDIA, N.Y., Nov. 29, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CA Technologies (Nasdaq: CA) today announced the appointment of Michael Denning as general manager of its Security business, which is focused on Identity and Access Management (IAM). Denning replaces Dave Hansen, who has accepted a new position leading the businesses that comprise CA Technologies distributed enterprise IT management portfolio.

"With his deep security expertise and record of outstanding leadership, Mike is ideally suited to lead our team as we advance Identity and Access Management into the next generation – whether deployed on premise or as a cloud service – and grow our IAM business with both enterprise customers and emerging markets," said Dobson. "We look to Mike to build on the success Dave Hansen and his team enjoyed over the past three years, which included some of the business' best quarters on record."

"The market need for Identity and Access Management is growing rapidly across organizations of all sizes, and CA Technologies has the portfolio to address organizations' need to control users, their access and what they can do with information. We have a tremendous opportunity to build our enterprise business and also deliver the technology for use in alternative delivery models suited for growing companies. I look forward to leading that effort."
