Ledger CEO: software alone can't secure assets in the AI era, secure hardware is the answer

  • —Gauthier: "Software cannot secure this world" — code alone won't protect assets
  • —Secure hardware isolates keys and transaction approvals from general-purpose OS
  • —Ledger Atom, with a security chip and screen, is due to ship in 2027
  • —Tampered Ledger devices were recently found at resellers in Southeast Asia
Why it matters: Rising AI-driven threats could boost demand for hardware wallets, though security also hinges on trusted distribution channels.
