French cybersecurity firm Memority announces the acquisition of Zygon, a US-based company that specializes in detecting unmanaged SaaS applications and analyzing how digital identities are used. This marks Memority’s first external growth move since its €13 million funding round completed in 2025.
A blind spot in identity governance
The surge in SaaS applications and the proliferation of identities—both human and non-human—are creating gaps in traditional IAM setups. A portion of applications and access escapes the declared inventories, without being integrated into the governance processes in place.
That is precisely the area where Zygon focuses: its platform enables identifying apps that are used outside of declared inventories, detecting accounts or accesses not covered by IAM, and analyzing the real-world usage associated with digital identities.
What Memority is integrating technically
The components of Zygon will be incorporated into Memority’s Identity Factory platform, which brings together three modules: Identity Governance (IGA), access management, and strong authentication. The stated objective is to extend the information system’s coverage beyond the boundaries already included in IAM, and to provide a more complete view of real-world usage.
On the AI front, Memority says it intends to combine Zygon’s data with its own developments to improve visibility into digital identities, prioritize risks, contextualize alerts, and automate certain controls.
Gilles Castéran, CEO of Memority, frames the operation within a broader ambition: “Our aim is clear: to build a European reference player in IAM, capable of offering a robust and industrial-grade alternative to the major international platforms.”
