We take our mission of keeping people safe seriously. That requires continuous improvements to our system, rigorous testing, and evaluation by third parties, the security professionals that are considering our technology and employed by our customers, and our own advisors. They relentlessly test our system because they have a personal and professional stake in the outcome. If they find an important weakness in our product, and they perceive we are dragging our feet to address it or help them work around it, they will have no problem telling their colleagues at other facilities. They do not compete, and they share information freely because they have a common interest in avoiding incidents. They serve the public, not vendors. We could not possibly be more motivated to make our products as effective as we know how.

Just as keeping people safe requires our customers and qualified prospects to be fully informed about Evolv Express’s capabilities, it also requires keeping potential threat actors in the dark about security measures. Fear of the unknown can be an incredibly effective deterrent as is lack of knowledge of the defensive landscape.

Because the general public may include potential threat actors, it is important to avoid disclosing information publicly that could help threat actors mount a successful attack. Unlike the software world, where nearly every vulnerability can be patched once known, physical security systems (inclusive of people, process, and technology) are subject to the unyielding laws of physics and operational constraints that make it impossible to fix every vulnerability or correct every lapse in human judgment.
The increased frequency and carnage of active shooter events demands a new solution. Metal detectors have been around for decades, yet are not deployed at many venues that are concerned about firearms and other threats because of the high nuisance alarm rates, the need for all visitors to divest their personal items, and the security threat created by the lines of people waiting to go through. As a practical matter, it just doesn’t work for most venues that are not required to use them. It’s critical that any potential solution strike a significantly better balance between threat detection and visitor experience and operator demands. We designed Evolv Express to detect firearms and other threats without requiring the operator to sacrifice the entrance experience of fans, visitors, students or employees.
