1. High initial investment and operating costs: Deploying and maintaining a CDN infrastructure requires significant initial investment in hardware, software, and network resources. Additionally, ongoing operating costs such as bandwidth, storage, and network maintenance can be substantial, posing a restraint for some businesses, especially smaller enterprises.

2. Security and privacy concerns: With the increasing frequency of cyber-attacks and data breaches, ensuring the security and privacy of content delivery is a major concern for both businesses and end-users. CDNs must invest in robust security measures to protect against DDoS attacks, data theft, and other security threats, which can add complexity and cost to their operations.

3. Regulatory challenges and compliance requirements: CDNs operating on a global scale need to comply with various regulatory requirements and data protection laws in different jurisdictions. Navigating these complex legal landscapes can pose a challenge for CDN providers, especially regarding data residency, privacy regulations, and content licensing agreements.
