Biography

Wayne Patterson is a retired as a professor of computer science at Howard University. In 1993, he was appointed Vice President for Research and Professional and Community Services, and Dean of the Graduate School at the College of Charleston, South Carolina. His other service to the graduate community in the United States has included being elected to the Presidency of the Conference of Southern Graduate Schools, and also to the Board of Directors of the Council of Graduate Schools. Dr. Patterson has published more than 50 scholarly articles primarily related to cybersecurity, one of the earliest textbooks in cybersecurity, Mathematical Cryptology (1986), and recently New Perspectives in Behavioral Cybersecurity (CRC Press, 2024).

He received degrees from the University of Toronto (BSc and MSc in ,athematics), University of New Brunswick (MSc in computer science), and the University of Michigan (PhD in mathematics). He also held Post-Doctoral appointments at Princeton University and the University of California - Berkeley. He has recently been honored to have been named to the "Hall of Honour" at his undergraduate University, St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, Canada, and also by having a Graduate Fellowship named after him at the College of Charleston, in recognition of his being the Founding Dean of the Graduate School there.

“This new volume of New Perspectives in Behavioral Cybersecurity continues in the footsteps of its predecessor by addressing an important aspect of cybersecurity that’s often underrepresented—the human factor. Technical cybersecurity, the arena where complex malware is reverse-engineered and sophisticated monitoring systems thwart cyber attacks, is crucially important. But human factors, which don’t get as much airplay, are equally critical in defending computer systems, because most costs related to cyber attacks are the direct result of human error.” -- Golden George Richard III, Professor of Computer Science, Louisiana State University
