NEW YORK (AP) — Security software maker Symantec fired President and CEO Steve Bennett’s employment and named director Michael Brown as his temporary replacement.

It’s the second time in less than two years that Symantec has fired its CEO. Bennett became president and CEO in July 2012, when Enrique Salem was fired after three years in charge of the company. The Mountain View, Calif., company behind Norton Antivirus software did not cite a precise reason for Bennett’s ouster Thursday.
