Gate News message, April 16 — Ledger, a French crypto security firm, announced on April 14 that it will enter the artificial intelligence (AI) security market with a comprehensive suite of new technologies and hardware devices throughout 2026. The new hardware is designed to protect users from rogue AI agents and ensure agents’ behavior remains aligned with human intentions.
Ledger’s Chief Human Agency Officer, Ian C. Rogers, argued that software-based security is insufficient given AI agents’ access to sensitive data and their rapidly increasing capabilities. “Your agents will hold your API keys, your credentials, your identity, and your money,” Rogers said, emphasizing the need for hardware-level protection. The company plans to strengthen AI agents’ trustworthiness by introducing “hardware-anchored security to the agentic economy,” with devices functioning similarly to Ledger’s existing crypto hardware solutions.
Ledger’s 2026 AI agent security roadmap includes: Device Management Kit (DMK), already released and in use by Moonpay; hardware-anchored identity and wallet with agent command line interface (Q2); Agents Intents, a human-in-the-loop approval layer (Q3); Agent Policies, enabling humans to enforce rules such as sending limits (Q4); and Proof of Human, allowing identity verification (Q4).
