Summary
Insight Direct USA (Insight Enterprises)
enterprise corporate legacy
INSIGHT-AS belongs to Insight Direct USA, Inc., the operating company of Insight Enterprises — the Fortune 500 IT solutions integrator and reseller headquartered in Chandler, Arizona.
What it's used for
- Insight's own corporate network and the services it fronts for customers: e-commerce and procurement portals, and managed/cloud offerings such as
ecfcloud.insight.com. - A mix of address space: a run of
/2xblocks carved from AT&T's12.0.0.0/8, a few directly-registered ARIN/24s, and one APNIC/24reflecting its international operations.
Notable
- This is corporate address space, not an ISP or a hosting network. An IP here belongs to Insight itself — its offices, its edge, its customer-facing applications — not to a tenant renting a server.
- Reverse DNS is sparse but unambiguous where it exists: the perimeter resolves under
insight.comand the olderinsightd.com(gate.insightd.com).
Interesting
- Insight sells and integrates other people's infrastructure at enormous scale, yet runs a fairly modest network of its own — a good reminder that address-space size tracks what a company operates, not what it sells.

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 1,773 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.
