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behind Revel Systems—Michael Green, Lisa Falzone, and Chris Ciabarra—Athena has redefined entryway safety by replacing outdated, manual screening processes with a proactive, AI-driven digital framework.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.

Verkada
Verkada adeptly merges the intuitive characteristics of consumer security systems with the extensive scale and protection required by businesses and organizations. Through the integration of high-quality hardware and a user-centric, cloud-based software platform, modern enterprises can efficiently oversee and secure their facilities across multiple sites. The inclusion of Power over Ethernet (PoE) cameras allows for rapid installation, taking only minutes and negating the need for traditional network video recorders or digital video recorders. Users have the capability to store footage locally for up to a year, which helps them stay ahead of emerging security threats via ongoing feature upgrades and security patches. The cameras send encrypted thumbnails to the cloud and only transmit video when being actively viewed, facilitating indefinite cloud storage of clips and easy sharing of recorded events with key stakeholders. All footage from various sites can be unified into a single dashboard, granting secure access to the entire team. Additionally, these cameras serve as smart sensors, leveraging advanced AI and edge computing to deliver real-time actionable insights. This cutting-edge methodology effectively tackles the prevalent challenges in physical security management, while simultaneously boosting overall safety and operational productivity. This comprehensive solution not only enhances security measures but also fosters a proactive approach to risk management in the workplace.
