Are you looking for ASX exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to buy for the long term? If you are, then you might want to look at the three listed below.

Here's what you need to know about these high-quality ASX shares:

BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

Among its holdings are sector-leading companies such as Accenture, Cisco, Cloudflare, Crowdstrike, Fortinet, Okta, Palo Alto Networks, Splunk, and Zscaler. They appear well-positioned for the future thanks to the increasing demand for cybersecurity services.

Another ASX ETF for investors to consider buying and holding is the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF. This hugely popular ETF gives investors access to over 1,000 of the world's largest listed companies.
