<p class="text">Insider risks in aviation and aerospace are frequently underestimated, perceived as isolated technical glitches rather than intentional acts capable of crippling air traffic control and endangering passengers. Comparable to arsonists who wield fire to destroy, these internal adversaries leverage their trusted positions to inflict financial loss, disrupt operations, and undermine organizational cohesion. The financial impact is significant, with incidents contained within a month averaging $10.6 million, while prolonged breaches can exceed $18 million. Such events consistently divert cybersecurity resources from strategic initiatives to reactive crisis management, imposing substantial ongoing costs on aviation organizations. This commentary-style article reframes insider cybersecurity threats using the metaphor of organizational arsonists, offering a unique and powerful framework for comprehending these complex risks in the aviation sector. This research adopts a multidisciplinary perspective, blending cybersecurity, legal frameworks, and psychological analysis to offer an extensive strategy for countering insider threats beyond purely technical solutions. It emphasizes the necessity of human-centric strategies, ethical accountability, and legal compliance, calling for aviation organizations to adopt a holistic defense posture that addresses technological vulnerabilities and behavioral risks. The article's originality lies in bridging multiple disciplines and framing insider threats as technical challenges and full-scale organizational crises within the aviation and aerospace industries. Combining advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence with human behavior analysis provides actionable strategies for aviation organizations to combat their digital arsonists. This interdisciplinary approach encourages cybersecurity professionals, legal scholars, and organizational leaders in aviation to rethink insider threat management, creating a more resilient and secure organizational environment.</p>

<p class="text">The paper highlights the results of a study on the investigation of criminal offenses related to the illegal detention of Ukrainian citizens (civilian prisoners of war) in the territory of the Russian Federation and the temporarily occupied territories. The author analyzes the activities of law enforcement agencies of Ukraine in terms of the effectiveness of pre-trial investigation, in particular, making procedural decisions, conducting investigative (search) actions and collecting evidence, as well as bringing to criminal responsibility those responsible for the illegal detention of Ukrainian citizens. Based on the results of the analysis of practical cases, conclusions have been formulated and suggestions have been developed to improve the activities of law enforcement agencies of Ukraine in order to bring the Russian military and representatives of the occupation authorities to criminal responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity.</p>
