  "whatItIs": "IANA lists 7024 as vmsvc, \"Vormetric service\", registered in mid-2005. Vormetric's transparent-encryption agents on protected hosts talk back to a central Data Security Manager for policy and key material; this port and its sibling 7025 belong to that agent-to-manager channel. Vormetric was acquired by Thales and the platform is now sold as CipherTrust, so the port survives mainly in older Vormetric Data Security Platform deployments. It is rare on public scans.",
  "exposure": {
    "verdict": "never",
    "note": "It is the channel between an encryption agent and the key/policy manager; keep it inside the datacentre network with mutual TLS as the vendor documents, never on a public interface."
