Hubert Quarantel-Colombani,
General manager
Graduated engineer from INSA (National Institute for Applied Sciences) Toulouse in 1997, Hubert turned towards operating systems administration for servers: OpenVMS (on VAX clusters) and UNIX (AIX, HP-UX, SunOS/Solaris then Linux) within big industrial companies.
Hubert joins the ING group in 2012 where he meets Laurent Gaillard, production engineer then.
From 2017 on, Laurent and Hubert work in the same team within the IT infrastructure department at ING Bank France. Together, they successfully deploy Puppet to improve UNIX/Linux industrialization on the on-line banking scope. Laurent and Hubert then start creating a SELinux expertise group within the ING group.
In 2022, Laurent and Hubert begin to reflecting on a way to put their skills at the service of a growing number of organizations. The idea of creating LHQG takes shape.
June 2024, LHQG is officially founded.
Industrializing and hardening your servers to improve the security of your data
UNIX/Linux system engineering, our core business
We love UNIX/Linux system engineering because it uses the power of information technologies to serve and empower the concrete missions of organizations. To meet the needs of a company or a community, to anticipate evolutions, to adapt the answers to fit reality, to build and maintain solutions that work and resist, to identify and address security issues for data and infrastructures.
We have a sense of industrial quality and of XXIst century agility..
We use operating systems industrialization technologies such as Puppet or Ansible to improve, strengthen and automate technical configuration of your servers. You set the limit that suits your organization best in terms of industrialization level, so that we reach your desired balance between automation and manual operations. We listen to you, we advise you, we adapt and we bring it to reality along with your teams.
We bring an additional point of view to yours, so that you get a broader vision of your resilience and security challenges.
SELinux expertise
Our experience allowed us to grow a true expertise in terms of SELinux.
LHQG proposes a full range of professional services regarding the SELinux technology:
- We can adapt and tune the SELinux policy shipped by the OS/application distributor to suit your specific needs.
- We can implement the IT security policy of your organization as a set of ad hoc SELinux policy modules on your servers in order to confine the application and server users processes (including administrators, need that be).
- We can maintain (evolutions and corrections) existing SELinux policies.
- We can deliver SELinux training for system administrators and security analysts.
