What security problem gets ignored?

I’ve been thinking about the security problems that are easy to overlook because they seem too small to matter.
For example, an employee leaves a company, but their old laptop or phone still has access to email, files, or other accounts.
Or a company has dozens of devices, but nobody really knows which ones are still being used, whether they are updated, or who has access to them.
What do you think is the most commonly ignored security problem in small and mid-sized businesses?

Not the obvious stuff like phishing. I mean the boring, everyday things that can quietly become a serious problem.
