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)

The first ASX ETF for investors to look at as a long-term investment is the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF. As you might have guessed from its name, it provides investors with the opportunity to invest in the growing cybersecurity sector. 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.

Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)

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. This makes it an easy way to diversify a portfolio, as well as providing it with exposure to long-term global economic growth. Among the companies that you'll be investing in are giants such as Amazon, Apple, Johnson & Johnson, Nestle, and Visa.

VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)

A final ASX ETF that could be a top buy and hold option is the VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF.
