Perhaps, but im also wary of these types of things, because i worry that people will feel embarassed at being tricked, and will (maybe subconciously) see the internal security team as the enemy, which is also a bad outcome.

I also worry that the emails might not represent real attack emails, and we end up training users to identify the test emails but not real attack emails.

(Not that i got any better solution)



Nothing is 100% secure. Having users fail to spot a pishing mail, is a very good training on general awareness, but no guarantee, that they will not make misstakes under pressure.
