The article analyzes the dependence of expert data versus threat level of fraud security being used by Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling ofservice provider of New Generation Network (NGN). Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Set Pairs Analysis (SPA) are the base of ranking security threats. They are proposed by Head Laboratory specialized in networks, information attacks and protection technology located in Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications for ranking threats DoS within softswitch networks (networks Softswitch). Using the methods of AHP and SPA the authors calculated maximum capacity of each threat, based on the values which made the ranking analyzed security threats. The calculation is provided by six examples offraud threats of alarm system SIP. Fraud threat feature is taken into account during using AHP and SPA for making another hierarchical model of threat consequences and making threat consequences indicators of the same dimension while forming the matrix of pairwise comparisons. A significant difference between the results of ranking fraud security threats at various variants of expert data contents is presented. Matrix value of pairwise comparisons and value characteristics of loss level are considered as the above data in expert survey. The calculation results in showing that the priority measures for the protection can appear ineffective and would not relate to threats of a higher risk level of Information Security.
