Athena Security: Protecting People with Purpose Athena Security is an Austin-based physical security technology company driven by a singular, life-saving mission: to help save lives. Founded by the veteran leadership team behind Revel Systems—Michael Green, Lisa Falzone, and Chris Ciabarra—Athena has redefined entryway safety by replacing outdated, manual screening processes with a proactive, AI-driven digital framework. At Athena, we believe that security is a shared responsibility. Human fatigue is the greatest vulnerability in any security posture; therefore, our philosophy is to automate the mundane so humans can focus on the critical. By digitizing the screening process, we ensure that every visitor is screened according to DHS Best Practices, providing a consistent, high-level layer of protection that never gets tired, distracted, or overwhelmed. The "iPad-Simple" Advantage We believe that the most sophisticated technology in the world is useless if it’s too hard to use. To ensure our products are accessible to every security officer, Athena utilizes Apple iPads as the primary user interface for our entire product line. Unmatched Simplicity: If a guard can use a smartphone, they can master Athena in minutes. This reduces training costs and eliminates operator error. Edge AI Power: We harness the high-performance Apple Silicon within the iPad to run our proprietary AI models locally. This means threat detection happens in milliseconds, even if the facility's internet goes down Athena stays up thanks to the power of the iPad. Apollo 500 Weapons Detection: A high-throughput walk-through system that screens up to 2,500 people per hour. It intelligently ignores phones and keys while instantly flagging firearms and explosives. AI-Assisted X-Ray Software: A hardware-agnostic AI layer for baggage scanners that automatically identifies weapons and disassembled drone parts. Healthcare Visitor Management (VMS): An iPad-based kiosk system

Kognition delivers cutting-edge security technology powered by AI that ensures consistent and proactive threat detection, all while being significantly more cost-effective than traditional security measures. By integrating effortlessly with current systems, we enable organizations to identify potential risks—such as the display of weapons or the formation of crowds—and alert security teams regarding unauthorized individuals and VIPs. This innovative solution not only minimizes IT costs but also decreases the reliance on additional security staff, thereby improving the efficiency of incident responses. Additionally, Kognition provides comprehensive security reporting and enhanced visibility across various sectors, including K-12 education, commercial real estate, and heavily regulated industries. Ultimately, our technology empowers organizations to create safer environments, making security more accessible and manageable than ever before.
