When referring to technology in general, you would not use an article or the adjective latest in the sentence.
This sentence is referring to a particular technology, not just technology in general, so using the article the is correct. The adjective latest tells us that the sentence is addressing the latest version of a particular technology.
It can be helpful to add more context to see that the technology refers to a particular technology:
She believes in the latest technology from Google.
She believes in the latest technology for electric cars.

She believes in modern technology.
