Summary
CANCOM Managed Services (Pironet NDH)
hosting enterprise legacy
CANCOM Managed Services GmbH (PIRONETNDH-AS) is the managed-hosting and managed-IT arm of CANCOM, a large German IT service group. The handle is a leftover from Pironet NDH, the Cologne outsourcing provider CANCOM acquired.
What it's used for
- Managed hosting, private cloud and outsourced IT operations for German corporate customers, run out of the group's own data centres.
- Connectivity for those hosted environments, including the networks of businesses whose IT the group operates.
Notable
- This is an enterprise managed-services network, not an eyeball ISP: reverse DNS lands on customer-specific gateway names and on
synaix.de, another German IT services provider that came into CANCOM by acquisition. - Roughly 117,000 IPv4 addresses in a handful of large, well-aggregated blocks including a legacy
/16, plus IPv6.
Interesting
- The AS has absorbed several German IT houses over its life and the reverse DNS still shows the seams. A prefix's rDNS domain here often names a company that no longer exists as an independent business.

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: 442 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-22. 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.
