What the critical PHP flaw means for your business


If your website or business applications use PHP, this deserves immediate attention.

Two critical vulnerabilities known as PHP2Shell have been disclosed with a reported severity rating of 9.2/10. Successful exploitation could potentially result in complete compromise of a vulnerable server.

The priority is straightforward: identify, patch, investigate and monitor. Consider also whether suppliers and other third parties running PHP could create exposure for your business.

Redesmere can help organisations understand their exposure, investigate potential compromise and put stronger defences in place.

The Public Sector AI Paradox

The Public Sector AI Paradox


Government knows AI matters, but too often it takes too long to deliver real operational impact. Under increasing efficiency pressure and scrutiny, the challenge is no longer experimentation but execution: how to embed AI into live public‑sector operations without weakening accountability. The most credible gains come not from automating decisions, but from removing friction around them, freeing officials to focus judgment where it matters most. This article explores why many AI initiatives fail to scale, and what a pragmatic, delivery‑led approach looks like.

Using AI-enabled Delivery Models to Reduce Backlogs


Across the public sector, the default response to growing backlogs is more technology: automation, AI, system upgrades. But in reality, most backlogs persist because scarce specialist capacity is focused on the wrong work.

As queues grow, so does “symptom demand”, progress chasing, repeat contact, and avoidable friction, which further slows delivery and reinforces the cycle.

The organisations making real progress are taking a different approach:

  • Protecting judgement and accountability
  • Shifting low-value work away from specialists
  • Redesigning flow, not just adding automation
  • Using AI to support delivery, not replace decision-making

The result is sustainable backlog reduction that holds up under scrutiny, not short-term fixes or pilots that never scale.

At Redesmere, we focus on embedding AI into delivery models that work in practice: accountable, auditable and operationally effective.
