SAN ANTONIO, TX, NOVEMBER 14, 2023 – Jefferson Bank, a family-owned legacy bank based in San
Antonio, TX, today announced that their Chief Information Security Officer, Roman Medina, has been
named a winner in the Top Global CISOs Awards for 2023, sponsored annually by Cyber Defense
Magazine.
Medina competed against thousands of candidates for this prestigious award. Judges look at these
candidates, searching for the most innovative, with unparalleled success in communicating with their
boards and senior level executives, detecting and stopping breaches and data loss, complying with
regulations and building powerful risk reduction programs for their organizations.
Chief Information Security Officers are the first responders of cyberspace and deserve to be recognized
for their tremendous achievements as they fend off cyber criminals, cyber terrorists, malicious insiders,
and nation state sponsored attacks. For years they have been considered operating cost centers while
helping corporations avert disasters that could put them out of business. They work tirelessly to allow
companies to grow, expand, and increase potential profits by managing and mitigating major risks and
regulatory compliance issues on a day-to-day basis.
“We’re pleased to name Roman Medina as a winner among a small, elite group of information security
professionals of our Top Global CISOs Awards for 2023 celebrating with them at CyberDefenseCon 2023,
