Ledger appointed former Fireblocks executive Oded Blatman as chief information officer and chief security officer on Sept. 9, 2026, combining two traditionally separate leadership roles. His responsibilities cover cyber and infrastructure security, product security including Ledger’s Donjon research team, physical security, enterprise risk management and internal IT. The appointment comes as the digital-asset industry faces $1.4 billion in hacks and exploits over the past year, alongside increasingly sophisticated AI-generated phishing and autonomous attack systems. Ledger has introduced a 2026 security roadmap that includes its Cerberus vulnerability-detection system, an open-source Ledger Agent Stack and a planned fourth-quarter Proof of Human protocol for verifying that sensitive actions are initiated by people rather than AI agents or deepfakes. Ledger and Trezor also called for responsible disclosure standards for critical vulnerabilities.
