Network directionality mapping system

A method, comprising:

• receiving, via a network and from a network sensing module, a record comprising packet header information of a first data transfer between a first computing device and a second computing device, wherein the packet header information comprises a first octet parameter corresponding to information communicated during the first data transfer;
• identifying, based on the first octet parameter, directionality of the first data transfer as unidirectional or bidirectional based on a value of one or both of the first octet parameter of the first data transfer and a second octet parameter of a second data transfer between the first computing device and the second computing device;
• generating, based on validation of the record, a first data transfer record representative of the first data transfer from the first computing device to the second computing device;
• storing, in a network directionality data store, the first data transfer record;
• generating, by a directionality map generator with a first configuration and based on the network directionality data store, a directionality map comprising a graphical representation of a data transfer relationship between the first computing device and the second computing device;
• and
• causing, at a user interface of a user device, display of the directionality map.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a computing platform comprising at least one processor, memory, and a communication interface, cause the computing platform to:

• receive, via a network and from a network sensing module, packet header information corresponding to each record of a plurality of records associated with data transfer between a first computing device and a second computing device, wherein the packet header information comprises first octet information associated with a first data transfer between the first computing device and the second computing device and second octet associated with a second data transfer between the first computing device and the second computing device;
• validate the recordation of the first data transfer by the network sensing module;
• identify the first data transfer as either unidirectional or bidirectional, based on non-zero first octet information and second octet information that equals zero and wherein bidirectional data transfer corresponds both the first octet information and the second octet information being non-zero;
• generate, based on a validation of the record, a first data transfer record for storage in a network directionality data store, wherein the first data transfer record is representative of the first data transfer from the first computing device to the second computing device;
• generate, by a directionality map generator with a first configuration and based on the network directionality data store, a directionality map comprising a graphical representation of a data transfer relationship between the first computing device and the second computing device;
• and
• cause to be displayed, at a user interface of a user device, the directionality map.
