I'd guess that this is simply caused by security.debian.org doing a HTTP
redirect to security-cdn.debian.org (which points to fastly's CDN -
probably to spread the load).
Look here:
$ telnet security.debian.org 80
Trying 2001:a78:5:1:216:35ff:fe7f:6ceb...
Connected to security.debian.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
