Remote probably hurts in a log4j situation. There's no separation between work and home. You are expected to be ready at the drop of a hat.

It doesn't hurt actually. During major incidents in my non-remote roles I was expected to be in the office and available for the duration of the active incident, even if I wasn't able to actively contribute (contrary to what folks may have seen on NCIS, having two people typing on the same keyboard is not actually helpful when fighting hackers :P )

As a remote worker I can be at home and present with my family, with short breaks for actual activity, and longer periods for active response. This is not speculation - I have been active on incident response in the last month while helping my kids with homework, side by side at my home office desk).
