There is more to technology than end-user experience. Aside from user experience, there are other considerations like maintenance, operations and 24/7 support. Even though some of these considerations are less visible, they are just as important. When one has a technology that is ubiquitous, it starts to fade and not be well noticed. People tend to notice when there are issues. Something to compare this to is when you only notice your plumbing system when there is a leak. Other than that you do not think twice about. There are technologies that are very important to the business environment and keep the organization running smoothly, yet the awareness for the technology falls under the radar. Since these technologies operate below the radar, it is a high possibility they are not being examined from a risk perspective. Some examples of this are TLS, SSH, SAML and Kerberos.
Using TLS to take the example further, there are several issues that may not come to mind instantly. Legacy protocol version are known to be susceptible to attack and usage related issues like HTTPS Interception.
