Summary
Cloud Central Pty Ltd / Security Shift Cloud
hosting legacy
CLOUDCENTRAL-AS-AP carries the name Cloud Central Pty Ltd of Canberra, but the AS object and its address blocks are now registered to Security Shift Cloud Pty Ltd, an Australian infrastructure-as-a-service provider run out of Adelaide.
What it's used for
- Cloud and IaaS hosting for Australian customers. The registry descriptions on the announced blocks say so plainly: one is labelled a "Canberra IAAS dynamic assignment pool", and the larger
/22is registered directly to Security Shift Cloud. - The network is small, only a handful of
/24s, which is normal for a regional cloud provider rather than a hyperscaler.
Notable
- A hosting network. The addresses are virtual-machine and cloud-platform space that cycles between tenants, so they should be treated as datacentre addresses and not attributed to any single organisation.
- Canberra is the significant location. Australian cloud providers that base capacity there are usually chasing government and public-sector workloads, which have data-residency requirements.
Interesting
- The AS name is a fossil of a previous holder. "Cloud Central" is the brand the number was registered under, while the operator behind it today is a different company. This is a common pattern, and it is the reason the registry contacts and the prefix registrations are worth more than the AS name.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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.
