This question is much easier to answer if you have an idea of the type of technology used in this particular position. Some tech that you may have been exposed to include surveillance and CCTV equipment, metal detectors, and radios. Talk about the equipment you have used in past roles and your level of experience with each. If you are new to your security career, be sure to express your willingness to learn new tech. You can ask the interviewer for details if you are not familiar with what the expectations are. This way, you will be able to do some learning on your own time, better preparing you for your first day on the job.
