The answers are 1A, 2B, 3B!

1A
netstat will provide you a list of network connections amongst other info depending on the switches used. A common example, running as root, would be netstat -antp where a is show all sockets, n is disable DNS resolution, t is show TCP connections, and p is show the PID/service.

2B
The question was deliberately semi-ambiguously worded, but it inherently implies that it's the IT dept's responsibility only. Whilst we're humans and humans can occasionally make mistakes, it doesn't negate the onus of responsibility to ensure we're staying vigilant to prevent potential incidents from occurring. Cyber security isn't a technical problem, it's a people problem!

3B
NAT maps your internal private IP addresses (your internal laptops, mobile phones on your home networks etc) to your public one (e.g. your home router).
