Bastion

Bastion, launched in October 2022, is a French startup developing an all-in-one cybersecurity solution for small and midsize businesses (SMBs). The company aims to provide a complete, unified cybersecurity platform, where a business would otherwise require several different expensive, resource intensive solutions for each aspect of cybersecurity.

The company was founded by former executives of data firm Palantir Technologies .

Bastion does not sell its product directly to SMBs, instead relying on a network of partners including insurance companies, banks, and outsourced security companies, who sell the platform to their own customers. The platform is priced at EUR 10 per employee per month for its full product suite, but customers may choose modules per their needs.

As of May 2023, Bastion offered four different modules as part of its solution;

i) Phishing simulation testing

ii) Cloud infrastructure and web application scanning and feedback for configuration.

iii) Endpoint detection and response

iv) Email monitoring

Funding and financials

In April 2023, Bastion raised USD 2.8 million in seed funding from Frst, Global Founders Capital, Kima Ventures and Motier Ventures, and several angel investors.
