In this episode of Black Hat Stories, we sit down with Or Yair, the Security Research Team Lead at SafeBreach. With multiple years of experience attending Black Hat — including presenting at Black Hat Europe 2025 — Or shares his unique perspective on vulnerability research, curiosity, and the real purpose of the Black Hat community.
For the past five years, Or has focused on vulnerability research in the Windows environment and third‑party components. He describes the research process as unpredictable and challenge‑driven — “like living in an escape room” — where success is never guaranteed, but the chase is part of the thrill.
Or also highlights what makes Black Hat truly shine: its ability to bring impact to the security industry. By attending talks on topics he wouldn’t normally explore, he gains insights that lead to faster breakthroughs and stronger research down the line.
