What is Athena Security?
Athena Security delivers an industry-leading, AI-powered concealed weapons detection system and entryway security platform for hospitals, K–12 schools, casinos, places of worship, government buildings, and other high-traffic environments where speed, accuracy, and safety are critical. The Apollo 500 concealed weapons detection system enables seamless walk-through screening, using advanced AI to accurately distinguish real threats such as firearms and knives from everyday items like phones and keys—maximizing throughput while reducing false alarms.
Athena’s AI-powered baggage X-ray scanner modernizes screening with Apple iPad-based control, replacing legacy consoles with an intuitive interface that improves usability, reduces training time, enables remote operation, and enhances threat detection through automated identification of suspicious items.
Athena’s Hospital Visitor Management System delivers deeper intelligence than traditional systems, including visitor history, prior incidents, and person-of-interest alerts—empowering faster, more informed decisions. Integration with EPIC strengthens healthcare workflows while maintaining high security standards.
First-of-its-kind innovations include the Ambulance Bay Weapons Detection System (AB-WDS) purpose built for hopsitals for screening stretcher patients and a secondary screening solution for feet and bags, reducing human error in courthouses and government facilities.
Built for compliance and real-world deployment across U.S. regions, Athena aligns with DHS best practices and evolving state regulations, including healthcare security mandates AB2975. Telepresence and AR alert glasses provide real-time operational support, while all systems unify into one platform for centralized monitoring, analytics, and enterprise reporting.

Athena Security Categories and Features
Visitor Management System
Athena Security's Visitor Management System (VMS) enhances and secures access at entry points for hospitals, K–12 educational institutions, and high-traffic venues. This innovative platform automates the visitor check-in process by incorporating identity verification, badge generation, and real-time screening against watchlists and custom alert directories, allowing organizations to maintain oversight while enhancing the efficiency of front-desk operations. Tailored for the healthcare and educational sectors, it accommodates mobile and kiosk interactions, implementing visitor restrictions, custody verification, and policy enforcement, all while prioritizing privacy and operational efficiency. Seamless integration with Epic (via HL7/Epic on FHIR) optimizes hospital workflows, minimizing disruptions while bolstering security measures. A standout feature of the VMS is its direct integration with the WDS process. Essential data points—including visitor records, previous incidents, and person-of-interest designations—are delivered to security personnel in real-time, along with detection alerts. This additional context empowers officers to make quicker, more informed decisions during critical situations.
Physical Security Software
Athena Security offers an advanced physical security platform that leverages artificial intelligence to enhance the safety of entry points in various environments such as hospitals, K–12 educational institutions, casinos, religious facilities, and other high-traffic areas. Their comprehensive solution features several innovative tools, including the Apollo 500 for walk-through weapon detection, the Apollo 650 for electronic device monitoring, an AI-enhanced baggage X-ray system controllable via iPad, and a visitor management system tailored for hospitals. Among its standout features is the Ambulance Bay Weapons Detection System, specifically designed to screen patients on stretchers, along with secondary screening methods for footwear and bags that aim to minimize human error. Athena's platform adheres to Department of Homeland Security guidelines, ensuring rigorous testing, control measures, and compliance across its physical security offerings. Additionally, the system includes telepresence and augmented reality alert glasses that assist security personnel in real-time. All these features are integrated into a single platform, facilitating centralized oversight, improved operational effectiveness, and comprehensive reporting across multiple sites.
Gun Detection System
Athena Security offers an all-inclusive gun detection system designed to intercept threats prior to their entry into a facility. In contrast to traditional camera-based methods, Athena prioritizes point-of-entry examinations by utilizing AI-enhanced X-ray technology, concealed weapon detection, ambulance bay monitoring, and secondary inspection processes. The Apollo 500 system promptly identifies hidden firearms on individuals, while the AI-driven X-ray technology efficiently detects guns and other potential threats within bags, featuring automated highlighting and operator oversight. Additionally, the Ambulance Bay Weapons Detection System safeguards stretcher patients, effectively addressing a significant vulnerability in hospital security. The secondary screening solutions guarantee thorough inspections of footwear, bags, and flagged items, minimizing the likelihood of human error. These integrated layers form a robust, high-capacity security strategy that identifies firearms at all entry points—on individuals, in bags, and via ambulance access—providing unparalleled entryway protection that stands out in the industry.
AI Security Software
Athena Security specializes in AI-enhanced entryway protection through its suite of weapons detection systems. Utilizing artificial intelligence, these systems significantly improve decision-making processes and operational effectiveness. The concealed weapons detection systems (WDS) are designed to accurately recognize firearms and knives, while effectively filtering out ordinary items, thereby minimizing false alarms and ensuring smooth traffic flow. In the AI-supported X-ray applications, machine learning harnesses the power of Apple iPad's GPU to efficiently identify potential threats within bags, resulting in heightened accuracy and quicker responses. The WDS at the Ambulance Bay employs AI to evaluate patients on stretchers, safeguarding previously vulnerable access points. Furthermore, secondary screenings are streamlined through AI-driven workflows, which help mitigate human errors. In addition to detection capabilities, AI is utilized to monitor behavioral patterns and compliance, providing alerts for any bypass attempts or procedural oversights. Telepresence and augmented reality alert glasses facilitate immediate assistance, while all systems integrate into a unified platform for centralized oversight and advanced security management.
