    First CISO (Steve Katz) was hired by Citicorp in 1995; 1994 was the year of the Levin attack, not the role's creation.

    After

    Citicorp created the first formal version of the role in 1995 in response to a significant cyber fraud incident

    Why: Corrected the year Citicorp created the first formal CISO role to 1995 (Steve Katz), distinguishing it from 1994, the year of the Citibank/Levin cyber fraud incident that prompted the role; verified fully applied, no stale mentions remain.
