I can't speak for other CDNs, but I know Akamai at least takes this extremely seriously. By seriously, I mean, machines that serve SSL are in locked racks with cameras and when unauthorized access occurs, the machines automatically wipe themselves. That's not complete protection but it gives you some assurance.
- sweis 13y agoI think CDNs make the best effort with the tools they have. However, many PoPs don't have locked racks, biometrics, or cameras. This means CDNs are limited to where they can safely terminate SSL connections, which impacts latency and ultimately their bottom line. (Disclaimer: I'm working on this problem.)
