Summary
Education Networks of America (ENA)
education k12
Network of Education Networks of America, a managed connectivity provider that delivers broadband, network, and cybersecurity services to U.S. K-12 school districts and public libraries. Now part of Zayo Group.
What it's used for
- Managed internet and network services for schools, libraries, and public-sector customers, much of it funded through the federal E-Rate program.
Notable
- Although ENA is a service provider rather than a single campus, its addresses serve schools and libraries, so traffic here is educational rather than general commercial hosting.
Interesting
- Founded in 1996 in Nashville, Tennessee to help close the digital divide in K-12 education; acquired by Zayo Group.

Classification and threat
Education University, school or national research and education network.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
