College Park, MD – May 18, 2022 — INKY, the leading cloud-based communication security platform, today announced its partnership with GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY), the company that empowers everyday entrepreneurs. This strategic partnership brings INKY’s innovative anti-phishing and email assistant offering to customers of GoDaddy’s Advanced Email Security (AES) solution for Microsoft 365.
The new partnership replaces the prior advanced secure email gateway solution with INKY’s enhanced detection capabilities and dynamic banners, providing a safe and user-friendly email experience to hundreds of thousands of GoDaddy customers.
“This strategic partnership with INKY greatly expands our capacity to ensure the security of our customers by enhancing GoDaddy’s existing solutions with extended capabilities that enable us to reach further and protect mailboxes of organizations around the globe,” said Manu Harish, Senior Director of Product Management for Productivity at GoDaddy. “The phishing threat landscape is constantly evolving, and GoDaddy customers — from small and medium businesses to large enterprises and corporations — are seeing new threats continuously emerge, requiring an additional layer of protection to secure their most valuable assets.”
