As I covered in my year-end cyber review last month, there were numerous headline-grabbing cybersecurity stories in 2025 \u2014 many focused on AI. So as we look back 12 months, what were the most popular \u201cLohrmann on Cybersecurity\u201d blogs in the past year? Of course, I hope you\u2019ll read all of the posts, but the list of top blogs below tells a wider story of what readers like and want to see more of.Some of these first appeared in 2025, while others posted in previous years are still getting a lot of global attention.

While I do not regret those stories and focus areas, the lesson for me is to be more specific about how AI will impact a particular business or government area in 2026 \u2014 and focus on that more than just the technology.Of course, I will continue to offer interviews with leaders, relevant tech trends for governments and much more, but I also plan to write about topics that are popular and others write less about.I will also clearly note if I use materials from OpenAI, Gemini, ChatGPT or other sources, since I want you to know my words are not being written by GenAI engines.THANK YOU!Most of all for this piece, I want to thank you, my readers, for another year of your attention and great feedback (via LinkedIn and email) while writing \u201cLohrmann on Cybersecurity.\u201d I don\u2019t take my audience for granted, and I know you have a wide range of online materials to choose from. I am glad you read this column.I also want to thank the great editors and the entire staff at Government Technology\u00a0for all of their help in the process of improving my content.It is a privilege, blessing and source of true joy to write this weekly blog, and I look forward to creating even more compelling, human-centered and intriguing cybersecurity content in 2026.<\/p>\n
