Summary
Estonian Information System Authority (RIA)
government legacy
AS8240 RIA Autonomous System belongs to the Riigi Infosüsteemi Amet (RIA), the Estonian Information System Authority — the state agency that runs Estonia's central digital-government platforms and its national cyber-security centre.
What it's used for
- Carrying the Estonian state network (the government backbone historically operated under the ASO name), which interconnects ministries, agencies and public bodies.
- Roughly 18,000 IPv4 addresses across a handful of prefixes, plus IPv6.
- Reverse DNS on the routed space lands on
aso.ee— backbone-router names of the formcr1-bb18-vNNN.aso.eeandncs1-bb2-vNNN.aso.ee. That is state network infrastructure, not consumer or hosting space.
Notable
- Addresses here should be read as Estonian government, not as a commercial ISP. RIA also operates the national CERT (CERT-EE) and the X-Road data-exchange layer that underpins Estonia's e-government services.
- The agency's remit spans both running the network and defending it, so the same AS fronts routine public-sector traffic and the state's security functions.

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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
