Notifications enabled for app I don't even have - OS X Monterey

I recently updated my MBP 2016 (4 thunderbolts + touch bar) to Monterey and today I found an interesting thing.

In notifications settings I see enabled notifications for app named 'Kerberos'. I typed it in Spotlight and got redirected to app store because the app isn't even on my Mac and it has never been downloaded!

So why is it visible in Notifications...?

Anyone had similar issues with recent update? How to fix it?

Kerberos is a secure authentication protocol. It has been included in OS X and macOS since 2001. There's nothing to "fix".

You haven't seen it before because Apple didn't add Kerberos to Notifications until Monterey. Only Apple knows why now.

Then why I have never seen that before in any other OS X?

And why it has native notifications enabled while the app itself is not installed?
