Each year, The Security Today New Product of the Year Award honors the outstanding product development achievements of security equipment manufacturers whose products are considered to be particularly noteworthy in their ability to improve security.

“We are thrilled to be amongst these innovative companies who are dedicated to creating a safer world,” said Peter George, CEO of Evolv Technology. “For decades, venues have used 20th century technology to detect 21^st century threats. In a world where experience matters greatly, visitors have had to wait in long lines, remove everything from their pockets and bags and walk through a system one-by-one. That is simply no longer acceptable or secure. With Evolv Express, cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence helps provide the highest levels of weapons detection while also improving the visitor experience.”
