The specializations are both conducive to remote work. However, they aren't conducive to remote work for people that don't have a good amount of experience in that role.
You can definitely make the switch to either of those things, but you have a long road ahead. If you know specifically what sub-field of security interests you, I might be able to give you some more insight.
- lazy_gator 9y agoI am actually in a similar boat. I have done a lot of java work, and was active on the security side of things in my previous role. I mostly worked on compliance, but I did some pen testing. I can see compliance not being friendly to remote where pen testing would be a lot more friendly. I know security is a big field, but I would love to hear any insight that you have on it.

From some of the job descriptions in the link above, things like: Penetration Tester (ethical hacking), Security Analyst / Security Auditor, Forensics Expert
