    In this episode of Socializing Security, Milou and Brian talk about the launch of HERS — Humans in Equity, Risk, and Security, a new conference built around the idea that security is ultimately about people online this Friday March 13, 2026. They discuss why human connection, community, and inclusive leadership are becoming essential in the risk and security world, and how HERS was designed to bring those conversations to the forefront. The episode explores the vision behind the event, the importance of creating spaces where practitioners can share real experiences, and the role of community in navigating an increasingly complex security landscape. Milou and Brian also reflect on the behind-the-scenes process of building the conference, the relationships that have grown out of the Socializing Security network, and why gatherings like HERS matter now more than ever. If you work in security, compliance, risk, or governance — or simply care about the humans behind the systems — this conversation offers a preview of what HERS hopes to build: a community grounded in collaboration, curiosity, and trust.
