An iconic and innovative landmark uses Evolv Edge to seamlessly increase safety for thousands of visitors.

Today’s threat actors are expanding their focus from airports and government buildings to soft targets. Iconic landmarks pose higher risks than other locations. They are high-profile and symbolic, and entrances to most were not designed to support controlled entry and screening. Based on physical layout, crowd concentration and location, venues such as these have become concerned with person-borne explosive threats and with concealed firearms. Decisions about which security technology should be deployed and what processes to wrap around them are highly dependent on the threats and vulnerabilities of a specific attraction.

Based on physical layout, crowd concentration and location, some venues have become concerned with person-borne explosive threats and others with concealed firearms. Decisions about which security technology should be deployed and what processes to wrap around them are highly dependent on the threats and vulnerabilities of a specific venue.
