System authorization is now used to refer to which of the following terms? Response:

System security declaration is not a standard term used to replace C&A; while a declaration might be part of the authorization, it's not the equivalent overall process.

System authorization is the modernized term used in the Risk Management Framework (RMF) that replaces the legacy "Certification and Accreditation (C&A)" process, encompassing both the technical security review and the formal decision to operate an information system.

Security test and evaluation (ST&E) is an activity conducted within the authorization process (specifically during the assessment phase), but it is not the overarching term for authorization itself.

Continuous monitoring is RMF Step 7, an ongoing activity after authorization, not the term for the entire authorization process.
