Real endpoint security for the schools and clinics that enterprise vendors ignore.
The security industry sells to enterprises and lets everyone else figure it out. A school district with one IT admin and FERPA obligations has no path to real endpoint protection without spending enterprise money or hiring a security engineer. Bastion is a Rust-based EDR built for that gap: seven detection layers, compliance from day one, at a price smaller organizations can actually pay.
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.
Seven Tokio tasks run concurrently. SurrealDB correlates the results via graph traversal.
