# Security Operations Integration - Block Request Flow

The Security Operations Integration - Block Request flow is a high-level flow independent of integrations. It blocks observables associated with a security incident. Use it to fulfill an integration such as Palo Alto Networks - Firewall.

The **Security Operations Integration - Block Request** flow can be triggered on an observable form, or from the **Security Incident Observables** related list on a security incident. On a list, it is in the drop-down action menu. On a form, it is a related link. Blocking a request is available only when you have an implementation installed for the block request capability.
