GoDaddy Integrates with Salesforce MuleSoft

In a significant move towards enhancing business security in the AI domain, GoDaddy (NYSE: GDDY) announced the integration of its Agent Name Service (ANS) with Salesforce's MuleSoft Agent Fabric. This collaboration, unveiled on February 19, 2026, marks a step forward for organizations of various scales, allowing them to securely discover and authenticate AI agents while mitigating risks associated with unverified tools and interactions with sensitive data.

The Need for AI Verification

As AI technologies proliferate, businesses are increasingly deploying AI agents across different platforms and departments. However, many enterprises struggle with consistently verifying the origin and identity of these AI agents. This lack of verification has led organizations to face a critical dilemma: slow down the adoption of AI to manage risk or expedite integration without adequate safeguards.

Understanding this gap, GoDaddy has leveraged its expertise in domain registration to enhance the AI agent verification process. The Agent Name Service enables organizations to register their AI agents, making them discoverable across the globe almost instantly. By linking these agents to the owner's domain, it helps other systems verify their identities through standard DNS queries—eliminating the need for specialized tools or access to ANS.

How the Integration Works

The integration between GoDaddy's ANS and MuleSoft Agent Fabric presents a robust solution for organizations aiming to maintain security while scaling their AI capabilities. MuleSoft Agent Fabric excels at discovering, orchestrating, and governing AI agents, regardless of their creation location. With this new configuration, MuleSoft clients can now use GoDaddy ANS as a trusted source for agent discovery.

MuleSoft's innovative Agent Scanners will automatically pull verified agents from ANS into its Agent Registry. This facilitates a systematic review process before an agent gains access to enterprise systems. Features include:

• - Visibility into each agent's verification status and publisher details.
• - Access to cryptographic proof of identity for added security.
• - Policy settings that determine permitted APIs and data access for agents.

Elevating Security Standards

In commenting on the importance of this integration, Travis Muhlestein, Chief Technology Officer of Product and AI at GoDaddy, emphasized, "The agentic ecosystem on the open internet is exploding, so trust and identity need to keep pace. This integration enables organizations to verify AI agents' identities, fostering confidence and accountability in AI adoption."

In a similar vein, Andrew Comstock, SVP and GM at MuleSoft, remarked that open ecosystems are vital for enterprise success. He stated, "By integrating GoDaddy's ANS with MuleSoft Agent Fabric, we're providing the 'digital passport' necessary for managing agent sprawl, ensuring that every agent in an organization's catalog is both authenticated and trustworthy."
