Answer: Considering ISO 27001, when thinking about people related threats you should consider how people can endanger information security (e.g., espionage, error, identity theft, etc.), and when thinking about people related vulnerabilities you should consider how weaknesses related to people can endanger information security (e.g., lack of training, lack of awareness, unavailability of the person, etc.).
