In January, Ever C, an Israel-based company powering growth for marketplaces and the online seller ecosystem, released its annual Global Regulatory Report. The paper highlighted the rise of Buy Now, Pay Later arrangements, which has left countries around the world struggling to keep up BNPL regulations.
But Ariel Tiger, the Chief Executive Officer of Ever C, has also been vocal about the fact that regulations alone won’t make eCommerce run smoothly. He stresses that employees need to be on their toes for cyberscams, and well-informed on what to look out for.
“Attacks are becoming more sophisticated, and they’re increasingly targeting employees, not just systems,” Tiger recently wrote on LinkedIn. “That means HR leaders and cybersecurity teams need to work together like never before. Every employee is now part of the security perimeter.”
Beyond that, Tiger stresses that cyberattackers won’t just be coming from people any more. The rise of AI has led to scammers embracing it, leading companies to remain vigilant. “It’s evolving fast,” he wrote, “and businesses will have to keep up.”
Tiger, who has been CEO of Ever C since 2021, was part of WeWork’s founding team in 2011, serving as Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Financial Officer. A graduate of the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, he has stressed the need for regulators and stakeholders to work in tandem to create a positive feedback loop within the industry.
The ultimate goal, he says, is to keep “the ecommerce ecosystem stay ahead of the curve and navigate complex regulatory challenges” – and the work never stops.
