Summary
Akamai Technologies (Nominum)
cdn edge security
An Akamai Autonomous System (AKAMAI-NOMINUM-ASN) tracing to Akamai's 2017
acquisition of Nominum, a carrier-grade DNS and DNS-security vendor. It backs
recursive DNS and threat-protection services rather than general CDN caching.
What it's used for
- Carrier and enterprise DNS resolution plus DNS-based security filtering (malware, phishing, and data-exfiltration blocking).
Notable
- Operated by Akamai, a major CDN/edge provider; this block is DNS/security infrastructure specifically.
- Sibling of Akamai's CDN ASNs — see [AS23454](https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS23454) and [AS24319](https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS24319).
Interesting
- Nominum's platform handled well over a trillion DNS queries per day, which Akamai folded into its security threat intelligence.
