First third-party remote administration software to provide remote Smart Card authentication
In 2006, members of the U.S. Military required a Smart Card solution for the new Common Access Card (CAC) environment. With that request, Dameware Remote Support was born, becoming the first third-party remote administration software to provide remote Smart Card authentication. The U.S. Army tested Dameware software within their strict environment and proved that it met CAC requirements. When originally developed, Dameware software was the only known remote administration tool that was completely CAC compliant as well as Army Gold Master 6.0 compliant and compatible.
