Athena Security
Athena Security is a leading physical security technology company dedicated to a single, life-saving mission: to help save lives by automating the detection of concealed threats before they cause harm. Based in Austin, Texas and San Francisco CA. The company was founded by the veteran technology team behind Revel Systems—Michael Green, Lisa Falzone, and Chris Ciabarra—who transitioned their expertise in high-speed, cloud-based retail systems into the critical field of public safety.
Our Mission & Philosophy
Athena’s core philosophy is that "security is a shared responsibility." We believe that human security officers are most effective when they are supported by intelligent automation. By digitizing the screening process, we eliminate human fatigue and ensure that every individual who enters a facility is screened according to DHS Best Practices and federal safety standards.
The "Apple iPad is Simple" Advantage
We believe that life-saving technology should be powerful on the inside but simple on the outside. Athena Security utilizes Apple iPads as the primary user interface for all of our products. This "iPad-First" approach provides: Intuitive Operation: Minimal training is required for security staff; if you can use a smartphone, you can operate Athena.
Athena provides a unified platform where hardware and AI software work in tandem to create a "frictionless" security perimeter:
Apollo 500 Weapons Detection: A high-throughput walk-through system that screens up to 3,600 people per hour for firearms and explosives without requiring them to stop or empty their pockets.
AI-Assisted X-Ray Software: An intelligent layer for baggage scanners that automatically identifies weapons, 3D-printed gun parts, and drone components, featuring an Automatic Belt Stop.
