There is no official pronunciation of SIEM.Ugh. This is a huge pet peeve of mine.
SIEM is pronounced "SIM" not "SEEM." I worked for a SIEM. My company and every one of our competitors pronounced it "SIM."
That being said, English favors dictation where the second vowel is emphasized (i.e., SEEM, not SIM), which is likely why most pronounce it that way. But more importantly, this pronunciation avoids confusion with SIM (Security Information Management), which can only be pronounced as SIM.
In the wise words of Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche: You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, they do not exist.
