Endpoint security and compliance for the organizations enterprise vendors outprice.
The security industry sells to enterprises and lets everyone else figure it out. Schools, clinics, and small firms carry real compliance obligations with one IT admin and no security team. Bastion is a Rust EDR built for that gap: detection through response in a single agent, a native desktop console, HIPAA and FERPA controls enforced in code, at $3 per seat per month.
Wazuh is free and capable. It needs a security engineer to deploy.
CrowdStrike Go starts at $5/endpoint. It assumes modern hardware.
Bastion runs on 2015 lab machines. No security team required.
School labs running Windows 7 on hardware from 2015
Rural clinics with HIPAA obligations and no IT staff
Wazuh deployed once, never maintained, silently failing
CrowdStrike Go capped at 100 endpoints. Most districts have more.
All layers execute concurrently via Tokio::spawn — total time = slowest layer, not sum
Parallel layer dispatch
All seven layers run concurrently. SurrealDB correlates the results. Sub-50ms because nothing waits in line.
The correlator from the agent, condensed. A PII read within 30 seconds of LLM activity on the same pid emits a threat tagged MITRE T1567.
