It's just a marketing term, not an "Official name" of something.

It's a service some registrars (ourselves included) offer which applies an additional lock to stop any updates to the domain.

Like othellotech mentioned, it's not an industry term, only a feature that some web host came up with to include/offer to clients.

It's basically added protection to your account and warns you via email when updates are made to your domain.

Just about every registrar has similar services/features.
