The blog post outlines that Ledger also operates its own in-house security evaluation department, dubbed Ledger Donjon, which tests products’ resilience for a variety of threat scenarios.
It is also reported that the company has developed a custom operating system, BOLOS (Blockchain Open Ledger Operating System), to combine software and hardware strategies to “bring the highest level of security to each of the company’s products.”
