Summary
Westat
business research corporate
WESTAT-AS1 is operated by Westat, Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries internal corporate infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
trc-info.westat.com,meps-m3.westat.com, andnhatscaricodenatprd.westat.com. - The AS announces 2048 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small, self-contained corporate network rather than a transit or access provider.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes are listed as Westat, Inc. with the netname
NETBLK-WESNET, fully consistent with the AS holder. - Westat is an employee-owned professional services corporation based in Bethesda, Maryland, providing research and data analysis services to government agencies and businesses.
- The inventory consists of a single /22 block and three smaller /24 and /23 blocks, all under the same netname, reflecting a consolidated corporate estate.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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: 442 networks and 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
