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.

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.
