Case Study: Major U.S. Airport achieves streamlined, non-invasive employee screening and improved insider-threat detection with Evolv Edge (Evolv)

Major U.S. Airport Significantly Improves Its Employee Screening Experience While Increasing Insider Threat Detection

Major U.S. Airport, which employs roughly 35,000 people with mixed landside and airside access, faced slow, invasive and resource‑intensive employee screening that relied on single‑threat walk‑through metal detectors and X‑rays. The process created bottlenecks during shift surges, produced inconsistent guard performance and left gaps against non‑metallic threats. To streamline screening, improve detection and reduce bias and delays, the airport engaged Evolv and deployed Evolv Edge™.

Evolv’s solution—Evolv Edge™ at a dedicated employee entrance—provided single‑path, no‑divestment multi‑threat screening, clear red/green guard indications, and rapid guard onboarding. The airport saw higher throughput, a better employee experience, reduced operating expenses, improved and more consistent guard performance, and a strengthened security posture with mobile deployment options—demonstrating measurable operational and cost improvements from Evolv’s implementation.
