GSISTE tools and techniques can be employed by network operators, device manufacturers, and security professionals to
- Device identification and tracking
- SIM card management and provisioning
- Network troubleshooting and optimization
- Security testing and vulnerability assessment
- Development and testing of mobile applications and services
However, GSISTE can also be misused for malicious activities, such as cloning SIM cards, intercepting communications,
