Remote Information Security Analyst | Remote Job for U.S. Residents | Protect Critical Systems From Cyber Threats

Salary Range

$75,000–$105,000 USD per year, depending on experience, certifications, and demonstrated expertise in security monitoring, incident response, and risk management.

About the Role

We are seeking a proactive Remote Information Security Analyst to support enterprise security operations for a distributed organization. Working entirely from home, you will monitor security platforms, investigate suspicious activity, assess vulnerabilities, and collaborate with IT and engineering teams to reduce cyber risk.

This position is perfect for a cybersecurity professional who wants more than a desk job. You will contribute to real-world defense strategies, improve detection capabilities, and help protect customers, employees, and critical business systems from evolving threats.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor SIEM, endpoint detection, firewall, and cloud security alerts for suspicious behavior.
• Investigate security incidents, document findings, and support timely containment and recovery.
• Perform vulnerability assessments and help prioritize remediation based on business risk.
• Review user access, authentication events, and security-control effectiveness.
• Create clear reports, threat summaries, and practical recommendations for technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
• Support security awareness, policy development, and compliance-related activities.
• Track emerging cybersecurity threats and recommend improvements to detection and prevention controls.

Requirements

• At least two years of experience in information security, SOC operations, incident response, or a related cybersecurity role.
• Working knowledge of SIEM platforms, EDR tools, network security, and vulnerability management.
• Understanding of common threats, including phishing, malware, credential attacks, and unauthorized access.
• Familiarity with Windows, Linux, Microsoft 365, and major cloud security concepts.
• Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills.
• Ability to manage priorities independently in a 100% remote work environment.
• Security+, CEH, GSEC, CySA+, or a comparable certification is preferred.

Why This Remote Cybersecurity Job Stands Out

• 100% remote: Work securely from a home office anywhere in the United States.
• Meaningful impact: Protect real systems and contribute directly to organizational resilience.
• Career growth: Build expertise across cloud security, threat detection, governance, and incident response.
• Collaborative culture: Work with supportive security, IT, and engineering professionals.
• Flexible schedule: Enjoy a professional remote environment designed around productivity and work-life balance.

Benefits

• Competitive annual salary with performance-based growth opportunities.
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Retirement plan with employer contribution.
• Paid time off, holidays, and professional development support.
• Remote-work stipend for approved home-office equipment.
• Certification and continuing-education assistance.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal Remote Information Security Analyst is curious, calm under pressure, and committed to continuous learning. You should be comfortable investigating incomplete data, explaining risk in plain language, and recommending practical controls that improve security without disrupting business operations.

Work Location and Schedule

This is a fully remote position available to qualified U.S. residents. The role follows a standard full-time schedule, with occasional flexibility needed during priority security incidents. No commuting or in-office attendance is required.
