This playbook is triggered by a Microsoft Sentinel Alert. It extracts IP addresses, domains, and certificate file hashes (SHA256) from alert entities, then queries the Censys API to retrieve enrichment data for hosts, web properties, and certificates. The enriched data is ingested into Log Analytics Workspace custom tables (CensysHostAlert, CensysWebPropertyAlert, CensysCertificateAlert). If the alert is associated with an incident, the playbook invokes the CensysAddIncidentComment sub-playbook
