Publishing AI Agent Identity to DNS (GoDaddy ANS and MuleSoft Agent Fabric) (aboutus.godaddy.net)

GoDaddy has announced an integration of its Agent Name Service (ANS) with Salesforce's MuleSoft Agent Fabric, aimed at enhancing the discoverability and identity verification of AI agents. This integration addresses a significant challenge organizations face: the risk of rogue AI agents accessing sensitive systems due to inadequate verification of their origin and trustworthiness. By registering AI agents with the public Domain Name System (DNS), the ANS allows these agents to be discovered almost instantly while linking them to verified identities that can be checked through standard DNS queries. This development is important for the AI/ML community as it paves the way for safer and more efficient adoption of AI technologies across various business systems. By facilitating a streamlined process for verifying agents, organizations can confidently scale their use of AI without compromising security. MuleSoft customers can now use ANS as a trusted source for agent discovery, enabling them to review agent verification statuses, access cryptographic proofs of identity, and enforce data access policies. This integrated approach enhances accountability and helps organizations manage the growing ecosystem of AI agents, ensuring that they remain secure and trustworthy.
