This work studies the secrecy-capacity of a scalar-Gaussian wiretap channel with an amplitude constraint on the input. It is known that for this channel, the secrecy-capacity-achieving distribution is discrete with finitely many points. This work improves such result by showing an upper bound of the order 𝖠/σ_1^2 where 𝖠 is the amplitude constraint and σ_1^2 is the variance of the Gaussian noise over the legitimate channel.
