OUR STORY
Your cybersecurity and IT solutions partner
OUR MISSION
We serve the quiet giants—the builders, protectors, and mission- driven teams who keep businesses and communities running. With cybersecurity as our foundation and clarity as our compass, we help them work smarter, grow stronger, and lead with confidence.
At Underdog, we make technology feel human again—by
listening, simplifying, and protecting what matters most
OUR VISION
Underdog exists for those building something bigger than
themselves. We are the trusted growth partner for leaders who want more than uptime—they want legacy.
With cybersecurity as our foundation and AI as our accelerant, we help organizations scale securely and operate intelligently in a world that won’t slow down.
While others talk about transformation, we’ve lived it—growing
from an MSP to a national force in business clarity, compliance, and consulting. That journey is our edge.
We stand beside the doers, the builders, the ones carrying the
weight of their team. We do it with clarity, care, and a fierce
respect for the trust placed in us.
We’re not just your IT provider. We’re the partner who protects
your growth—before, during, and after the transformation.

Securing Your Digital Future for Over Half a Decade
Led by President Carmine J. Corridore, who has over 30 years of experience in the IT industry, Underdog Cyber Defense was founded in 2018 to provide comprehensive cybersecurity solutions. From field technician to Director of IT, Carmine’s career has spanned all levels of IT operations, which laid the foundation for Underdog’s mission to meet the evolving cybersecurity needs of businesses across the country.
Carmine quickly recognized the growing need for more advanced cybersecurity services, as cyber threats have become more frequent and sophisticated.
