Athena Security, a leader in concealed weapons detection system software inspired by the Homeland Security Best Practices, announced the completion of a $10 million seed funding round led by its founders Lisa Falzone and Chris Ciabarra. This funding round validates Chris and Lisa’s confidence in Athena’s CWDS technology and the growing demand for advanced security solutions.
Athena Security consistently delivered innovation to concealed weapons detection systems, launching patented features like Evasion detection which uses AI to alert the security team when uncooperative patrons try to avoid the weapons screening system.
Other unique features like the Voluntary function, real-time photo alerts, and a wide variety of integrations, enable security teams to streamline processes and enhance compliance with Homeland Security Best Practices. And the company’s commitment to innovation, information security, and compliance has earned them a reputation as a trusted partner in safeguarding businesses, schools, casinos, hospitals, and public spaces.
