Spandana Sarala Gorantla is a Senior Product Security Engineer at Adobe, specializing in product security, threat modeling, and secure development practices. She is passionate about making threat modeling collaborative, practical, and scalable, especially as AI and agentic systems reshape how teams build software.

Spandana joined The Security Champions Podcast to discuss why threat modeling matters more than ever in the age of AI. In this episode, she shares how threat modeling became a central part of her security career, why collaboration across engineering, product, business, and security teams is essential, and how AI can help scale early risk identification without replacing human judgment. The conversation explores practical approaches to threat modeling, the role of Security Champions, and why frameworks like STRIDE and MAESTRO can help teams ask better questions about modern systems.
