Accreditation
An official pronouncement by the command or management authority which approves the system to function within a certain security mode using a prearranged set of safeguards. Based on the certification, accreditation is a system’s formal administration authorization for operation.

Activity Monitor
Antiviral software used to check for indications of suspicious doings – things like attempts to rewrite program files, format disks, etc. The phrase activity monitor frequently is considered to consist of operation restriction style software, which is also known as activity blocker or behavior blocker. However, it can also be distinguished because an activity monitor may, rather than disabling it, simply alert the attempt to the operator.
Administrative Control and Administrative Security
