Summary
The Prudential Insurance Company of America
enterprise legacy
PRUASN — the corporate network of The Prudential Insurance Company of America, headquartered in Newark, New Jersey.
What it's used for
- Enterprise networking for one of the largest US insurance and financial services firms: offices, data centres and public-facing corporate services.
- Announces prefixes carved out of the legacy
161.151.0.0/16block held by the company.
Notable
- A classic institutional ASN: a Fortune-500 enterprise that took its own AS number and legacy Class-B block early, and still announces that space itself instead of riding a provider's addressing.
- Nothing here is transit or hosting for third parties — the address space serves Prudential's own business.

Reputation
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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
