From BigID Developer Portal
In this article, you'll learn:

Many organizations are receiving and processing data in real time. Where there's data, there's bound to be personal information. In this tutorial, we'll add an AWS Kinesis data source that BigID will scan in real time.
Unlike traditional BigID scans that run weekly, monthly or quarterly, data in motion scans run continuously. This means that under scan details you'll see your data in motion scan at 0% with a status of "in progress" while you're monitoring a data in motion data source.
First, we should check if data in motion is enabled in your environment.
