Federated email systems like those supported by GoDaddy can leave your business exposed to cyber risks such as spoofing, phishing, and impersonation attacks. GoDaddy defederation is a key step in detaching your email infrastructure from shared identity trust models, giving your IT team direct control over authentication and policy enforcement. This process allows organizations to create stronger and more reliable email authentication rules, improving both security and email deliverability. Whether you’re transitioning to a new provider, optimizing your DNS, or combating persistent email threats, defederation can reduce your domain’s exposure to third-party compromise.
