Zylo Discover is a SaaS solution designed to provide enterprises with continuous, comprehensive visibility into all software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications across their organization. It leverages an AI-powered discovery engine to automatically identify, categorize, and analyze every application in use—including those procured outside traditional IT channels—by ingesting financial transaction data. The platform delivers a centralized inventory of applications, detailed spend analytics, and security risk assessments, enabling organizations to optimize software usage, control costs, mitigate risks, and manage shadow IT.
