New ecosystem technology integrations intended
to help neutralize potential threats quickly and accelerate guard
response times
Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the leader in weapons detection
security screening, today announced enhancements to Evolv Express®.
With today’s announcement, Evolv Express is now the first system to
integrate weapons screening and detection data collected at venue
entrances with Milestone Video Management System (VMS) and Titan
HST mass notification system, which further extends Evolv Express’
screening intelligence to complementary security technologies,
simplifying and improving management for a venue’s security
professionals. The new integrations are in addition to Evolv’s
existing integration with Motorola Solutions announced in 2021.
Rise in violence, fragmented security technologies and guard
turnover increase threats to safety
According to the Gun Violence Archive, there were 611 mass
shootings in 2020, which is up from 269 in 2014 and 417 in 2019.
That’s a 47% increase from 2019 to 2020.
The Las Vegas attack in 2017 was the worst mass shooting in
recent U.S. history; seven of the shootings with the highest number
of casualties happened within the past 10 years.
In addition to the growing physical threats of today, security
teams and professionals are facing new challenges such as reduced
workforces and temporary, high-turnover guard staff. A recent
Gartner survey revealed that integration with existing systems is a
physical security professionals’ most-reported procurement
headachei.
Software-first approach addresses challenges, improves
security
The reliance on decades-old, hardware only, metal detectors has
meant that venues face complex challenges to collect, analyze, and
learn from data about people entering and exiting their premises.
Within this hardware-centric landscape, physical security
strategies were fragmented and disjointed, leaving venues
vulnerable to threats and poor visitor experience.
The enhancements to Evolv Express address the legacy, antiquated
approach to physical security and enable security teams to meet
today’s threats. Through these new integrations, information about
Evolv Express-identified threats – including time, location, image
data, type of threat, and staff requests for additional support –
can be instantly communicated to complementary security
technologies via the Milestone and Titan HST VMS systems and
protocols that a venue may already have in place.
“Before these integrations, security guards at venue entry
points had very few tools to communicate – quickly and at a mass
scale – about a threat. Now, if a guard at one gate identifies a
threat, they can immediately inform the full security team. In
elevated situations, every minute counts,” said Peter George, CEO
of Evolv Technology. “Until today, collecting reliable weapons data
at venue entrances has been exceedingly difficult, which has forced
security teams to find other, non-automated ways, and hampers their
ability to mitigate risks quickly. Our powerful integrations enable
venues to improve their security and for visitors to confidently
and safely enjoy their venue experience.”
"Titan HST & Evolv are committed to bringing best-in-class
technologies together through partnership to achieve
industry-leading outcomes for our clients,” said Vic Merjanian, CEO
of Titan HST. “Working together, we believe Titan HST and Evolv can
bring the best threat detection system on the market with the best
multi-patented mass notification platform on the market, ensuring
our clients can maintain security and business continuity.
Together, Titan HST and Evolv help quickly identify and manage
potential threats and mitigate risks to sites via instantaneous
communication.”
Consumers want to feel – and be – safe
Recent research revealed that Americans are filled with more
anxiety than ever; 1 in 5 believe their chances of encountering an
active shooter have increased since 2019. That pervasive feeling of
anxiety and worry carries over into where Americans go and what
they are willing to do to reduce the threat of a terrorist attack
or mass shooting. This research shows more than half (56.7%) of
Americans are willing to go through weapons screening at everyday
locations, such as the grocery store, workplace or movie theater
and 46% are willing to have their bags checked.
Advanced video analytics accelerate threat resolution
Today’s Evolv Express enhancements also include advanced video
analytics that further improve and automate the identification and
resolution of who presents a potential threat, and where on a
person’s body the threat is located. By optimizing and automating
threat isolation, high-turnover security guard staff can be more
effective, accelerate detection and resolution of the threat, and
maintain a seamless and frictionless experience for guests moving
through the entryway.
George continued, “Our research demonstrates Americans want to
feel and be safe, but currently do not. All venues where people
gather have the opportunity to help their guests feel confident
they are safe, while not impacting the overall guest experience.
Venues can do this while transforming their digital infrastructure
to align with 21st century technology, innovations and
expectations.”
