Evolv rejects IPVM’s deceptive anddangerous articles

Evolv Technology published this open letter to publication IPVM addressing concerns that IPVM’s continuous stream of articles on the Company is not only deceptive, but could pose a danger to the public. Since 2021, IPVM has published approximately 100 articles featuring or referencing Evolv, which are almost uniformly negative in tone. During that same timeframe, Evolv has noted that IPVM seems to have focused less on other companies in the weapons detection industry. Evolv has concerns about IPVM’s inaccurate and misleading coverage. Evolv is also concerned about the public safety implications of IPVM’s distorted coverage and release of sensitive security information SSI , which can potentially provide a roadmap to bad actors on how to circumvent a security system. Evolv’s position is that IPVM is not only biased towards the selective use of misinformation, but also does not reflect subject matter expertise in the physical security industry or advance public safety priorities. The Evolv standard of excellence is consistently tested through its broad client base and expectations of its Security Advisory Board. The Board includes senior leaders who have served at the highest levels of their profession in national security, law enforcement and the United States military. The Security Advisory Board has carefully examined IPVM statements regarding Evolv Technology systems and concludes that IPVM has consistently misrepresented product effectiveness and is irresponsible in their reporting.
