There are a lot of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to choose from on the Australian share market.

But which ones could be good options for investors in February? Let's take a look at three quality options for the month ahead:

BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

If you are interested in technology exposure outside the status quo, then you might want to look at the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF.

As you might have guessed from its name, this ASX ETF provides investors with access to the growing cybersecurity sector. This means you'll be owning companies such as Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ: AVGO), Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO), Cloudflare (NYSE: NET), Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT), Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), Crowdstrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), and Thales SA (FRA: CSF).

As we have seen in recent years, cyberattacks are on the rise and cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important and a failure to protect data can lead to significant brand damage and financial loss. This bodes well for the cybersecurity sector over the next decade and beyond.

BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (ASX: ATEC)

Another ASX ETF that could be a top option in February is the BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF.

This ETF allows investors to buy a slice of the best tech stocks on the Australian share market.

Among its holdings are payments giant Block Inc (ASX: XYZ), health imaging technology company Pro Medicus Limited (ASX: PME), logistics solutions leader WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC), and cloud accounting platform provider Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO).

Betashares recently tipped this fund as one to buy. It points out that "with the nascent adoption of AI, cloud computing, big data, automation, and the internet of things, there's a good chance that the next decade's major winners will come from the tech sector."

VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)

A third ASX ETF for investors to look at in February is the VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF.

This Warren Buffett-inspired ETF gives investors access to a group of companies with sustainable competitive advantages or wide moats. The fund is currently invested across almost 50 attractively priced shares boasting these qualities.

This includes the likes of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG), Altria (NYSE: MO), Boeing (NYSE: BA), Estee Lauder (NYSE: EL), Nike (NYSE: NKE), and Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS). Given how successful Buffett's style of investing has been over multiple decades, this ETF could be a top option for long term focused investors.
