Mullen Coughlin, Cybersecurity & Data Privacy

Mullen Coughlin Managing Member Jennifer A. Coughlin will present at Cybersecurity Docket’s Incident Response Forum West 2026 on October 13 in Beverly Hills, CA. Jenn joins a panel of legal professionals on the panel, “The Use of AI in Cyber Attacks and Cyber Defense.”

As AI continues to integrate itself into everyday business use, organizations need to understand the risks and rewards that it can provide. Using the collective experience of Mullen Coughlin’s Incident Response team, Jenn and the panel will examine how AI is being used in cyber-attacks and how organizations can best protect themselves from being victimized via AI-created malware, phishing campaigns, and deep fake social engineering.

IR Forum West brings together hundreds of cybersecurity professionals for a full day of panel discussion focused on data privacy and security incident response and compliance. Learn more and register to attend here.
