What security issue do you keep seeing over and over?

Discussion
This content discusses recurring security issues commonly observed in internet-facing infrastructure, such as exposed management interfaces, outdated software, weak TLS configurations, default credentials, and unintended public cloud services. It highlights that many organizations may struggle more with visibility of their assets than with fixing vulnerabilities. The information is derived from a Reddit post linking to a security service that scans domains for exposure and maps findings against UK Cyber Essentials controls. No specific vulnerability or exploit is detailed.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time looking at Internet-facing infrastructure over the last few years, and it’s surprising how often the same problems show up.
Things like:
Exposed management interfaces (RDP, SSH, admin panels)
Outdated software that should have been patched months ago
Weak TLS configurations
Default credentials
Cloud services that were never meant to be public
It made me wonder whether most organisations struggle more with visibility than with actually fixing vulnerabilities.
I’ve been building with a team , https://solvbeat.co.uk, to explore this problem and help identify exposed assets before they become someone else’s opportunity. It’s still evolving, so I’d genuinely appreciate honest feedback from people who work in security.
What do you think is the issue you encounter most often during assessments or incident response? Is it still basic misconfigurations, or has something else become more common?
I’m interested in hearing real-world experiences.
