This document discusses taking an application-centric approach to firewall rule recertification. It outlines traditional approaches to managing and removing unnecessary firewall rules which can be manual and error-prone. The document then proposes a more advanced recertification process that is application-centric and can be automated using AlgoSec tools. This application-centric approach helps validate that rules are still needed based on the applications they serve, reduces risk, and saves time compared to traditional firewall rule recertification methods.
