  "oneLiner": "Registered to CARDAX, the building access-control system now sold as Gallagher Command Centre.",
  "whatItIs": "IANA assigned 1072 to \"CARDAX\" for Charles Oram of Cardax, the New Zealand access-control vendor that became Gallagher Security. In current Gallagher deployments the port carries FTCAPI, the Command Centre API that third-party systems such as video management platforms connect to, so integration guides tell installers to open TCP 1072 on the middleware host. Outside a site running Gallagher or legacy Cardax FT hardware you will effectively never see it.",
  "exposure": {
    "verdict": "never",
    "note": "This is the API into a physical access-control system — doors, cards, alarms. Keep it on the security management VLAN, reachable only from the integration server that needs it."
