Admin Tools Core is the free edition of the Akeeba toolkit for securing and maintaining a Joomla site. The paid Professional edition adds more security-focused tools.
Admin Tools is made by Akeeba Ltd for people who run and maintain their own Joomla sites. JED files it under site security, and the developer presents it as a general-purpose toolbox. This card covers the free edition, Admin Tools Core. The JED listing says little about which tools the free edition contains, so check the Akeeba documentation for the exact feature set before relying on it.
