Eradication: In the context of cybersecurity, eradication refers to the process of completely removing a security threat, such as a virus or malware, from an information system after it has been identified and contained. This is an integral step in incident response and involves steps to eliminate components of the threat, such as deleting malicious files, disabling breached user accounts, or fixing exploited vulnerabilities. The goal of eradication is to prevent the threat from causing further damage or re-emerging at a later time.
