[Trustable-distros] 92 Percent of Enterprises Struggle To Integrate Security Into DevOps

I'm weary of these statements. There is a whole growing discipline 
called DevSECOPS
     http://www.devsecops.org
which is yet again trying to differentiate itself from everything else 
with yet another group of certifications and audit methods.
     https://www.devseccon.com/london-2018/
and certainly those certified would disagree with the numbers. I've 
noticed with two financial clients recently that they now have competing 
teams between the DevOPS and DevSECOPS teams who are in effect at war 
with one another.. And the increasing term of Site Reliability 
Engineering (SRE) becoming yet a 3rd term for what is covered in both 
DevOPS/SecOPS and production engineering with metrics.
     The Checkmarx team, the sponsor of the article, are in the business 
of selling yet again more static analysis tools, and some simple 
Findbugs like approaches.
  There are others trying to do the same including the recently purchased 
by CA, Vericode, and HP Fortify.

     The interesting point to me, is that in fact neither the DevOPS or 
SECOPS people are collecting metrics while increasingly the Site 
Reliability Engineering teams are increasingly collecting measures and 
trying to use these to see if they are improving things. Sadly these 
metric often are arbitrary and not aligned against business objects but 
progressing the SRE team...
